Cliff, as an owner of a 1996 Super Grind 2000, I agree with all the suggestions you have received about upgrades. Over the years, I have added the threaded universal support with micro adjust, horizontal universal support base, stainless steel shaft and EZ nut, updated angle finder, and after reading here just a few days ago about Super Lube, obtained a tube and did a clean and relube of my machine yesterday. It is still working great. And then there are the jigs (and improved jigs) as applicable.
Having just found this site a few weeks ago, I have been going through the threads and find I am learning a significant amount which will improve my sharpening skills (and also correct a large number of bad habits which have unfortunately crept into my work process over the years). In my opinion, you have found the right place for Tormek information.
