A couple I really like but don’t come across often is the nautilus overhead extension tricep machine.Marlboro golds gym in mass has one.Just a great movement.

Not sure of company but the standing shoulder lateral raise machine.

Lastly hammer strength wide grip chest press.
You are talking about the eye Icarian  standing shoulder. Atlantis later made a copy of it

Anyone here ever use the Nautilus Duo Squat?

I mentioned earlier that I largely trained on old Nautilus equipment for a long stint.  I set the seat so the cam would fully unwind and got to 6-8 reps per leg with the full stack.  It was nasty.  I never experienced such soreness and thigh growth since, but the machine probably cost me a half inch in height; the way it supported your spine basically crushed your shoulders down, and every time I used the thing, my traps were bruised the next day.

Many of his machines were great. Some of his machines were garbage. Those that idolize Jones will never admit this because they are blinded by their worship.  Even his son Gary put out some garbage but some of his stuff was great. The older I get the more I think the highest tech is body weight exercises. This is coming from a guy that lifted weights for nearly 50 years.

Agree. The lat pulldown machine is the best of all time.

The problem with chins and pull ups is that you have to use your entire body weight without proper warmup. Eventually you’re gonna tear something. The pulldown machine solves this problem. It also can be used for tricep push downs which IMO is the best direct triceps exercise. You even can use it for neck resistance.
