Joe;
Thanks for the link. Interesting to say the least. With the inclusion of B. Folkerth in the photo makes me speculate that Shopsmith may be playing a major part in introducing the DVR system from Teknatool into the U.S. market. Good for SS and us as SS fans.

Teknatool was already here with their lathe motor. Partnering with SS to check out other load characteristics was indeed a shrewd move.(on both sides)

Previous posts have alluded to Teknatool having a very positive attitude re SS Customer Service.(Very necessary for such an exploratory venture)
