where would if find info about a DP gympac 2500 weight system?

Question

i'm looking for info on how to set up a home weight system (setup, workouts, etc.) it's a DP gympac 2500.

i just got an old weight system (70's/80's era i'm guessing) for free, and it didn't come with any info on assembley or how to set it up for different exercises. i'm not sure where to look for help. it's a DP gympac 2500 with "plate" style weights on a roller track, with cables and pulleys. it looks like it's supposed to be mounted upright against a wall or post. if that's the case, i still need info on setups for different exercises (bench / military press, leg exercises, curls, etc.). i'm not even sure if i can do that many different types of exercises with this machine. please help!!!!

Yes, you mount it to the wall, you run the cable from the lower pully on the wall mount to the leg unit at the end of the bench. In theory you can do leg curls and leg extensions using the unit. But the factor there is likely to be the leg padding, as it is likely to be insufficent to properly buffer your leg against the amount of weight you need to use to tax your muscles. Obviously the bench press is self explanitory. You can also stand and do shrugs using the bench press arms. Scoot down on the bench a bit and you can do tricep extensions. If there is a way to hook a bar to where the leg cable goes you can probably do bicep curls from there. It depends on whether that came with the unit. This thing probably dates back 20 to 30 years.
