Why do you say that all head stocks are a Model 500? The head stock does not determine the machine model number. It is the table system as you said. The head stock does not have a model number just a part number depending on what parts are inside and the casting.
Well I guess that I didn't express that point very well. 
Thanks for correcting me.
All of the head stocks were the same for all those models. It was the table system that determined the model #.

Truth be known, the vent plates have differed as the models were released.

Depends upon who you ask!
The 'tubes' are the same OD, but the wall thickness differs. Not a problem unless you have some from both versions and attempt to use them together/interchangeably. Very small difference, but enough to matter at times. The original has thicker walls.
Well, I guess I'll find out in a week or so when I set the thing up. With luck everything I have will go together, and that will be that. Then again, I normally don't have such luck...
Thanks for the information.
