Finally! I've been looking for some sort of free weight/bench combo for a while now, and I found something on Craigslist here in CA. Got it for $150.. it's missing the 35lb plates, and the cable needs to be replaced (plastic is peeling off), but other than that I'm happy with it. Managed to only put two small holes in the wall on my way up the narrow stairs.. had to take it apart, but it was still a huge pain in the ass getting it upstairs.

I can finally do squats at home!! I'm super psyched... just gotta get some floor mats to put under it so I get proper footing/leverage when squatting. It came with 205lbs of weights, so I obviously need to get some more... I'll keep my eye on CL for that as well.

Oh, and I'm gonna get the ropes for the pull down, and going to get an EZ curl bar. Between this stuff and my Powerblocks, I think I'm pretty well set for equipment.

Anyhoo, here's a pic of it:

Ya, I figured it'd be pretty easy to get that replaced... I'm gonna check the local listings here to see if I can find a gym equipment repair guy.

I found this place for gym flooring, seem to have great prices:

Although, I need something heavy so that it doesn't flex on carpeting...
