Shopsmith Forums

Thanks for the comments. I took the headstock off and replaced it with a Mark V headstock that I had put together thanks to YouTube and all the extra parts that had came with the purchase. I now have a working Shopsmith!

Has anyone replaced the headstock of the Magna Mark VII with a Mark V? I purchased a Magna Mark VII (running) but not working, speed control issues. I also purchased a Mark V, 4 motors and numerous parts, including 2 partial Mark V headstocks, hence my question. Any input would be appreciated!
