Thanks Ed -- I couldn't resist searching for the Dec '72 article that it referred to. Here's a link...

Thanks for the fun look at an old Popular science Mag, Ed!

I particularly liked the Unimat (the table top multiple use machine by American Edelstaal) - This is a hobbyist's shopsmith type machine. Found it at the top of Page 185. Would have liked to have had one of these!

I had a Unimat years ago. I never learned how to use it so I sold it. Sure wish I had it back now!!!!
