Jet 1014 retro kit to variable speed part # and price

Although I have asked three other stores to verify pricing, I got a figure and a model number for the Jet 1014 lathe conversion to variable speed. When the other stores check in I will pass info along if it is at all different from what I got from the first store that got back to me.

Jet 1014 Variable Speed change over kit part number 708351VSR Price: $161.88. Not cheap but will make your old lathe the same as the new. This includes the same motor that is on the new Variable Speed model.

What is your source for the kit? I have been trying unsuccessfully to sell my non-VS mini lathe, along with the adjustable base, for $250 (basically, you'd get the stand for free - $130 value). Can't get anywhere. I was then going to ante up the $100 to buy the VS version.

This upgrade kit sounds like a viable option, so any info you have would be great.

All of the tool stores in Portland, Oregon, at the direction of the Jet Reps at the Woodworking Show this past weekend. But, they're not special. This is from a bulletin that Jet sent out last week. And if they will give that part number to their Jet supplier (708351VSR), they can get it. An easy way to remember the number is that it is the same number as the variable speed mini lathe with R after it. They said it is for Retro.
