Questions about Power Pro

Post by dannyshamoon »

I watched the video about the upgrading to a Power Pro and it talks about 4 ways to upgrade, 1 NEW unit, 2 refurnished unit, 3 send yours in for conversion, 4 do it yourself. Yet they only give pricing for NEW unit and DIY conversion. Are there 4 options or only 2? Does someone associated with SS monitor this forum to see what conversations are ongoing?
Thanks

How old is the video? The Power Pro has been out for a long time. Things change. At one time I think what you say was correct. Apparently not now.

I don't know. It's on the SS home page under pricing. I just viewed it earlier today before I wrote this message.

Looks like they went from four to two. They need to update the main page (which says four ways) to match the second page (which says two). As of now it appears the only options are to but a new powerpro headstock or but the DIY version.
