My Dad bought one of these back in 1951 to build his house. That one looked different from yours tho Worth. I do have some old photos of it. He built a few homes, a boat, a cabin and many sets of kitchen cabinets with it. He used it until he was in his 70's and then bought a Rigid table saw which he thought was great too. I still have the old receipt of when he purchased the Shop Smith and the dados (spelling and I don't know what these are anyway) cost almost as much as the Shop Smith. When he passed in 2005, a friend's husband bought it. That made me happy that someone I knew would take good care of that old Shop Smith. Good work Worth.
