Alright, here is what i know about these pieces. Largely this info is passed around in the equipment community so take it with a grain of salt:
These pieces are early Camstar. They are way heavier and better built than they look (a shocking contrast from some of the later camstar pieces that are immensely light). Camstar was aping Nautilus in the early 80s, got sued over it, and eventually bought out by Nautilus; who then proceeded to launch their chrome line. Whether true or not it kind of tracks as a ton of the pieces in this line are clearly pulled straight from the gen 1 nautilus lineup, although i will give them credit as a few seem to have fairly unique designs.
If anyone can corroborate, make corrections, or add to this lore feel free!
