A Power Pro Headstock just showed up on Ebay:

At $100 right now. But almost 10 days before bidding ends.

It came with a GE 1/2hp, that swivels on its bracket. Bigger diameter than another GE 1/2hp I have. I've also accumulated several motor options. I have 2-3 motors about this size, several good treadmill motor options for when I attempt a variable speed DC lathe option, and one baldor 2HP 3450 rpm t...
