Vintage Mark VII found at an estate sale It has been a long time since I have been on this site so I am not sure if I am doing this correctly. A friend of mine in Des Moines, IA alerted me of this. As much as I would like to take on another restoration project I don't think it would go over real wel...

I just went back to the sale email and clicked the "buy now" tab and this is what came up. https://www.shopsmith.com/ownersite/specials/7DV713 I still had this same page up on my computer from the time of the sale and the prices on both the upgrade and the DC-6000 are listed as $279 and $7...

That is the way I am looking at it. I would like it to be a DC-6000 after upgrading. Unfortunately the lack of clarity has pushed my purchase past the special offer they had.

I guess my questions were not clear enough. I sent an email response this morning for more clarification. I will post when I hear something back.

To add to everyone's ponderings on this subject. I emailed Shopsmith on Friday: Question: I am looking at purchasing the dc6000 upgrade. Will it make my old dc3300 the same as the new dc6000? I would like to know how changing to the bigger motor provides increased cfm? If rpm and the impeller stay t...

This may be what you are looking for on ebay

Just checked the warranty on the website and Powerpro has 5 year parts and labor and standard headstock has 2 year parts and labor. If they can't provide service for Powerpro I am not interested anymore. Was thinking of taking the plunge.
