Was looking at these...again, and I had a sudden memory of a miniature combination machine that I think came out in the 80's at some time.
Wasn't completely tiny, I think about 2'x18"x10" kind of size
Might have been white with green decals.

Anyone hanker over a small woodworking machine, you could fit in the shed(Or dining room ;) ) sometime in the 80's ? Do you remember what it was called, or made by.

Fell in love with it but I think I was too young to get such things.

Was it the Emco? The main bit was the EmcoStar (saw, bandsaw, sander etc.) but the powertrain also hooked to the EmcoRex (a nice planer). I had one for a little while - good machine in the Inca style (aluminium casting mainly though the planer was iron). A bit more info here:
