    New Deluxe Cue Smith

    I would hope that Chris or someone posts photos of the new Deluxe lathe and let us know if the current Deluxe is upgradeable with the new parts. If the old can't be upgraded then I'll be very disappointed! I don't want to open my mouth too much until we get more info from Chris. Thanks, Zim

    Scott- if I misread the membership numbers, my mistake, but I'm pretty sure I remember reading "over 500,000 members is US, Canada and now Japan".
