I am having a problem with my 30 year-old ShopSmith. Is there a users group anywhere that anyone knows about?

There's also a Yahoo users group - SSusers in groups.yahoo.com. Not a lot of chatter, but lots of experienced users monitor and they'll always jump in to answer questions or offer advice.

Nothing is idiot-proof for a sufficiently ingenious idiot!
I have one, but I bought mine new, two years ago, and have just finally finished building the workshop in the basement (well, finished with the first version, we'll see how many are to follow). All the info I've ever wanted to find about them, has so far come from the forums on their website that Frederick posted. Just like here, the members are very happy to share their knowledge. My main issue right now is trying to find the time to make sawdust. Goodluck.
I have a Smithy Ironwood which is a heavy duty version of the Shopsmith.

As Cort would say: Fools are the only folk on the earth who can absolutely count on getting what they deserve.
There are also a couple of Shopsmith repair shops. Jacobs Shopsmith Repair Shop has a good site. I am thinking of having mine rebuilt.
