Difference in 500 to 510 headstock

I have a model 510 and I am picking up a 1965 mark V (500 I think) on Saturday to use as a power station for SPT.

What is the difference between the 500 and 510? I know the tables and associated equipment are different, but what about the headstock? Will my jointer and band saw connect or do I need a different coupler ?

The only differences between the 500 and higher numbers are the tables. From the factory all head stocks are 500's.

If a 1965, it is a Mark 5(essentially the same as a Mark V 500). That will be a "B" headstock which was used from early 50's to mid 90's. As far as the SPT mounts, nothing has changed since early 50's except the ribbing on the lock handles.

Sale fell through. I was to picjk it up Saturday while I was in the area. Last night, a neighbor of the seller came by and decided to buy it. Sounded like a great deal! Oh Well.
