I have a Powertec squat machine.

I have that same Squat machine, its decent, but the base on them is never wide enough.
The guy I got it from welded steel plating making the base better for wider stance.

Honestly the machine looks decent enough (like if I were older and down-sized my gym). Seems a lot can be done w / it...

I had the opportunity to buy one of those yellow multi-system units very cheap a few years ago but passed.

It would have taken up too much room.

These type of systems sometimes don't work well for taller people and I am taller.

Either you are as old as West or had an outdoor gym?

I was looking at the model Priest is using but am in the process of moving, moved a smith rack with 400lbs of plates several year ago so I'll pass for the moment.

It looks like a 21st-century version of that Universal multi-station gym I used back in high school.

The main difference is that PowerTec is plate-loaded vs. Universal's weight stacks (for the lat-pulldown, bench press, shoulder press, and leg press).

I think they had one of those in the "Pumping Iron" movie.
