ShopSmith 10er
Not sure what makes an antique when it comes to machinery but I'm fixing this one up.
Finally did it. Not sure how old this baby is but it aint young, some where between 1947 and 1953 so it would seem
The bars were to far down on the hinge section to prevent lifting to vertical position. They were seized in place.
the tailstock was also seized in position. Both these pieces were absolutely seized in position.
The headstock and every other piece took considerable persuading in order to get them off the main bars.
There was a lot of rust to remove.
What I dont know is the actual age of the unit
Cant make out if that is R 45576 or R 43576

Dave,
I can't help with a definitive date, but this may give some insight:

So perhaps 1949?
Cheers,
