Well, we folks in the mid-west are finally getting a Shopsmith demo coming to our neck of the woods! Yeah, I'm excited and luckily, being of the retired sort, I can schedule a trip. It is been a long time since the last one and I am overdue.
The demo is going to be at the Lowe's in Shawnee, Kansas from Thursday, Nov. 10th to Saturday, Nov. 12th.
It is going to be interesting - I am interested in the PowerPro head, of course. Certainly hope to upgrade someday (the slower speed would be a definite asset in my feeble attempt's at bowl turning) but now is probably not the time. Sigh.

I be curious what the 'show' discount or enticements are.

I saw the one in manassas va. Can't recall there being a huge discount but there was an incentive to buy directly from him. I have his card for the very day I do upgrade.

On the subject of discounts, etc - I was wondering also. The email from SS only mentions a free CD of plans and projects. No money enticements. I'll find out when I go in (a bit less than) 2 weeks. We can always hope!
Bought my first Mark V (model 500) at a SS demo just south of St. Joseph, Michigan (way over in the southwest corner of the state, just north of Indiana border) in 1984. I had been to several demo's over the years and had lusted for one for ever. This time, my wife nudged me in the ribs and said 'go for it'. So I did. Ah, memories.

Be sure to let her tag along this time also!;)

Well got my add today showing it coming to Tulsa OK Nov 03-05th. Glad to see them in Shawnee ks, Grew up in Merriam and Mom and Dad are still in Mission since the new strip Mall in Merriam took out my neighborhood.
Looking forward to seeing the Power Pro in action and the MK 7 upgrade also.
