Anyone know what is up with the Power Pro? I have been saving up, but I am being made offers I can refuse such as a 10ER for $49.99 with a speed changer. I have another 10ER in Florida which I need to get up to NJ. I have two heavy-duty DC motors which I plan to use on the 10ERs. I considered modifying the case on my 500, but figured, I'll wait & see about this new headstock.

Now if the Power Pro was in the form of a kit to upgrade any of the 500 series headstocks, I'd buy three of them. I like what I read.

If $49.99 makes a difference, I think you better buy that 10ER so that you have something to play with.

Last week I ordered a few small items from Shopsmith and inquired about the Powerpro headstock - I was unable to get any new info :( . Can't wait for it to come out! Alec
