'Look what I bought today!'.

[Jetigen]

Yes, I remember Deadwoods work on that. Great work but lacks the 'vintage (i.e. beat-up) aura.

I agree. I bought 1st Generation Nautilus Pullover and left it as it's.

Going to see he can come and refurb mine (or just assemble it ...LOL)

He was helpful in explaining what and how he did his restoration.

And wasn't there also a 'pullover' thread. Can't seem to find it.

Here it is:

I picked up an very early model of the Nautilus Super Pullover last night. Have to put it together soon, since it was disassembled when I bought it but it is the same model as the one in this picture from IFR.net, a great resource for Nautilus info. I think I will need to reference their blueprints to get this together!!!

I had that same model. That thing is extremely heavy, something like 700 lbs.

Great pickup, i'd like one of those but haven't come across any nearby or cheap enough.

Congrads! Deadwoodgregg restored similar machine a while back. Here is his thread about it:

When I have a big playroom this is on my wish list. Sexy.

I was outfitting a gym today and they were upgrading to York Olympic plates. They had a bunch of old York and Real McCoy standard plates that they wanted to get rid of. I took about 370lbs of the 10's and under and gave them $25 (There were likely a few thousand of 20-50's left), but I wanted took these with dumbbells in mind. I'm not sure what the hell I'll do with them.

Thats a pretty sweet deal for 25$ GI... Even if you dont end up using them for DB's, you will make more by selling them on ebay
Finally out of spread and repped...!!!

Could someone give me some instructions on how to post pictures if I do not have enough posts? I have made several purchases off craigs in the past few months I thought I would post up.

Goto advanced options while you are replying to the thread and then attach the pictures. One of us can then embed them for you.

Sweet, thanks I will give it a try.

New lighting going into the home-gym today!

Picked this up a couple months ago, it was in pretty sad shape. Did a bearing conversion and refurb job, turned out pretty good.

I've been trying to understand these conversions, where do the bearings go?

[2MoreRepz]

The original Nautilus machines came with bushings anywhere there was a movement arm, sprocket, or cam. You can replace with same diameter needle bearings and it makes for silky smooth movement. The 1st gen double shoulder has 24 total.

I got one of these also, my lat raise is pretty smooth, but the shoulder press has a lot of friction. Does this conversion smooth out the shoulder press as well? If it's not too much trouble, could you send a PM with what bearings you used and where you got them? Thanks.

[2MoreRepz]

To be honest I didn't notice much of an improvement on the press. Mainly I think this is due to the design of the press itself. It's hard to get it operating smooth with the rollers in place that guide it. I have heard of people putting some type of linear bearings on the press bar, but I'm the wrong person to get information from on that. Overall it took around 35 feet of 40 roller chain, 20 needle bearings of a small size, and 4 needle bearings of a larger size. The larger ones go in the lateral raise movement arms. I will have to dig up the size numbers, I will send you a pm when I get them.

Thanks, that's what I thought about the press, with the current setup, it has too much movement to be any smoother.

Very nice work on the double shoulder. That one is fun to move!!!

Looks like you have convinced me into making some room in the garage and assembling the Pullover I bought Monday night....there does the weekend!

[2MoreRepz]

Glad I could be of motivation! They are addicting! I just picked up a Nautilus Ab 1 about a month back, I will post up a pic of it later....I plan on starting a refurb on it soon!

Any weekend that involves equipment is quality time! Looking forward to the pics.

I really like the Atlantis. That looks to be the best one made from the pictures. Hope it performs as great as it looks.
