I've heard of the TotalShop, Menards, and other Shopsmith clone machines. But, I haven't heard about this one. I found this while trying to research other multipurpose tools (specifically the KITY line of tools):
I present the Multico!
This comes from a UK web site, so I'm assuming this particular brand was only (or mostly) available overseas. You can see more pictures here:

Assuming that it sold for the listed price - that would be about $850.00.

Was the question how much that particular machine sold for on that web site, or how much it retailed for in US dollars?

I just purchased an 1984 Woodmaster Multi-Tool machine that has a headstock identical to the Total Shop with a 2 HP 16.8/8.4 Amp 110/220 VAC motor on a 56 frame that still operates. It came with a 6" joiner and jigsaw that does fit and operate on the Shopsmith.
I have collected a few non-operational Total Shop machines for parts if anyone has a need for any repairs, parts or have any questions concerning these clones machines. The Shopsmith headstock parts does not fit/work in these machines without major modifications. All bearings, shafts, tubes and quill are different sizes then Shopsmith used.
