New Headstock Lock

Sorry folks, This is probably a duplicate of other stuff here but, I'm hoping not to have to spend hours searching. Where can I find instructions to replace the headstock lock and wedge locks for my PowerPro headstock? Received new parts but, there were no instructions included.

Thanks,

Add the insulating wrap if installing in a power pro.

Does the Headstock Lock (and the Carriage Lock) function exactly the same on all models of the Shopsmith?

Are the parts interchangeable?

As I understand it Dusty. All Mark V's head stocks are a model 500.

Although there have been different versions of the headstock including casting and power switches, the lock has not changed since the original Mark 5 in the early 50's. The carriage lock was the same as the headstock lock. The Mark 2 and Mark VII are different as is the '10'.

The carriage lock changed with the 505-520 carriage.
