I saw a quasi-infomercial on youtube that cast Shopsmith as just that (esp against planned/forced obsolescence). IIRC, they are the only in-usa manufacurer of bench-grade power tools, or something. If only i had a bunch of extra cash and garage space! :)
I associate Shopsmith with that awkward transforming "It's a lathe! It's a drill press! It's a table saw!" thing that can only be described as "cockamamie."
