They replaced it but the only thing changed was the motor - it's a bit stronger now.

The story I heard was they wanted to discontinue the 8274 in favor of the planetary drive style, so they raised the price and raised the price and raised the price. But people still wanted them. So they re-tooled the assembly area and made more - adding the -50 to the part #.















































And they raised the price too. :mad:
