	Yep, I had a set of grain elevator scales at a business 
property. I tried for a year or two to sell them for $50 
and finally walked away from them and let them go with the 
property when I sold it. Somewhere I still have a box of 
those little carboned cardboard scale tickets that you 
stuck in the slot and squeezed the handle to print them. 
All I ever used those scales for was as a solid platform to 
set a coke machine on under a security light...   :-)   We 
used to go out every morning and pick up all of the pennies 
that people with money to throw away just tossed out on the 
ground rather than carry them. It didn't bother me to put 
them in our change jar. It was about a buck or two a week.

	I have created a local Shopsmith users list for my area. 
It is described as follows:
This is to be a list for Shopsmith owners and want to be 
owners in the general area of Indiana. If you are across 
the line in OH or IL that is fine too. I don't want to draw 
a hard line but I hope for all members to be within a 
reasonable driving distance of each other. This list is for 
sharing woodworking tips and stories and Shopsmith tips and 
stories but also is to be used for the buying, selling and 
swapping of Shopsmith tools, accessories and parts between 
members of this list.
