I bought it on E-Bay for £400 (cost nearly £900 new).
Its a POWERTEC - PTWBMS & its feckin awesome for a home gym. Heres what it does.

Seated rows - Squats - Calf extensions - Lat pull-downs - Preacher curls - Leg extensions - Seated crunches - Incline/decline bench press & probably some more that I aint figured out yet. Also theres not a Cable in sight... complete leverage.
And its got a massive weight capacity. All I need now are some Olympic weights.

Heres a link if you wanna look at it.

That is a sweet setup. I have powertec pieces and I had the individual squat/calf machine like the one in your setup. Use the angled platform as that will feel more natural and gentler on the knees. After using that machine I couldn't walk for days :)

Good luck with it.

Anybody know how the bench press part works out for them?

I've always been interested in a bench press machine like those.

Looks great, and pretty compact too. I think I am envious!

I have the leverage bench press. I love it. Works and feels great. Does flat, incline and decline. Can do shrugs on it as well and close grip press with the straight bar attachment it comes with.

I only paid £400 for it on E-BAY & I paid £30 to hire a van for a day. Saved loads on the new price.
and theres not a mark on it ... Its just like new.

I have that same gym and I love it. Especially since I work out alone without a partner (safer). My only problem with it, is the preacher curl. It's pretty much useless.

Good find there! I have a cheap leverage system until I can get some Olympic plates for my new gym. It works great especially when you don't have some one to spot you. Way to go!
