My PowerPro arrived this morning and the motor pan fits just fine with no egregious gap. FYI I bought a refurbished headstock and was sold the older variety with the centrally located toggle switch - just like my goldie. VERY PLEASED! I intend to paint it to match. Alec

OK! Now about yer beloved Goldie Headstock - Tis time to make yerself a MINI! 3/4hp is plenty to drive a bandsaw or belt sander or strip sander or disk sander(long speed rampup and ramp down) or a jig saw or a scroll saw or turning pens or. . . . . . .

I think building a mini is the ultimate goal... It'll be a while though since my funds for tool purchases are now depleted! Alec
