I am glad you posted pictures before restoration as well.

Salt I know exactly what it used to look like.
There is one old dude on Youtube that is using his fathers or grand fathers and it has never been restored i dont think and looks new.

Just google Shopsmith 10E or 10ER

Hard to beat good lead based paint.
There are a ton of missing parts.
You could even use it for a band saw.
I was battle ship navy gray.
The must have been a huge surplus of the paint after the war because so munch machinery was painted that color after the war.

I chose the gloss black because that is what I had in stock.
