The leg extension exercise problem can be fixed by using smaller weight plates try a 25 or even 10's. Sure you will need to add more plates, but after the first one or 2 plates, you should be fine with the 45s again. If you are halfway handy, you could drill a couple new holes where you want them. You could even make smaller holes and use a piece of rebar as the pin to hold the arms where you want them. Sure, not ideal solutions, but they will correct the problems you identified.

The problem with multi exercise machines is, the old jack of all trades and the master of none. It’s hard enough to develop a proper functioning machine for one exercise.

of course most of the problems are due cause your model is VERY old , new models have 16 height positions and unilateral arms etc.. for the squat machine exist on the market a model of levergym (not powertec) that also have safety pin for the high squat position, so you are not obliged to start from the low position, unfortunately powertec not implemented yet that option..

When you buy on Facebook Marketplace, you don't always get the newest model. Maybe I will upgrade in a few years.

Sounds like they have been using videos (not unlike this one) and other user feedback to make constant improvements. Gotta love when a company listens to its users.

Powertec is an okay company but better for beginners or light lifters, I think. They dont offer on their equipment the fit and finish I like and they also are not good with the little details, Ex. the limited holes they have, stickers used for numbering instead of laser cut numbers, 12 Gauge steel used instead of 11 Gauge steel, etc. As I said they are an okay company but definitely not a top tier company like REP, Rogue, or Fringesport. All the faults you mentioned comes from poor design where as with a high end company those faults would've never been an issue. I don't see how you even work out with all those things going on, I'd have to sell that piece and start over.

Looks like these machines are not that great for very tall people.

Correct. If you're over 6'4" pull-down won't work well for you.

That would be about $1000 more than a used one. I’ll pass.
