Here is an oddball, does anyone remember the GSB SD-40-2. I think they had high hopes for this line that never really materialized.

this is the drive for the GSB unit that the manufacturer advertised heavily as the bulldog chassis. All plastic construction with lead weights, decent motor and geartrain but no flywheels.

Steven,
I remember, Just a flash in the pan. I wonder if they even paid for their tool cost?
