PowerPro spy report???

Post by cincinnati »

Ok, who is with me?

I think Shopsmith should tease us with a photo of the new PowerPro. Kinda like you see in the car magazine Spy reports.

That would be great but don't expect to see one. If they show us one the next thing they would hear is "Give us a ballpark price range!" or some other request for MORE information.

I'm just hoping the price is within reach of my budget. I need to start charging more for my work! My shop money account is looking kind of anemic these days!

Actually they have offered us a teaser. I believe it has accomplished exactly what they hoped for. Now if we can just keep our slobber down so we don't all ruin our computers we will be ready for the super duper early bird special you can't live without offer, they will most certainly offer us. fjimp:cool:

Nick is probably the best sales tool Shopsmith every had. His description of the new Headstock has me counting the pennies in my tool Piggy Bank. I think it would be ideal to bring him back for a special New Headstock Sawdust session!
