No longer in production...

Their website hasn't been updated since 2009, and a lot of "page not
found" messages when you poke around.

There is one listed on eBay, but it's about twice the price listed on
website.

I'm not saying I was right (yes I am) but that is often the fate of tools that try to be all things to all people. Using one battery for a multitude of tools is one thing, trying to be a battery operated Shopsmith is very different.

BTW...What's the deal with the "flashlight on the pole" set-up? That seems like a lot of work just to get a flashlight to point where you want to. A direct replacement for this, it's not. ;-)
