The origin of the "Satellite" stand...?

Including the name.

I happen to own one, and saw the similarity. This is what I found when I researched it...

That could convert to a nice rolling perch for our African grey parrot.

At $875 they are rather proud of that old typewriter stand. Sam, the first thing my Yellow Nape Amazon would do is chew it all to splinters.

That one is kinda expensive, but yeah, you might want one with wheels... it's quite a bit heavier than the Lindsay Engraving Stand or the Satellite I saw at FEGA.

I picked it up for $25, fifteen or more years ago. No longer has the wheels or table... been converted.

I am tempted to convert it back now and grab a little profit?

Brian,

Very cool looking! Too bad I spent so much money on GRS equipment since taking a beginners engraving class, not really, I love all my new equipment! I've been reading and reading on this site to figure out how to set up my scope, vise, etc. I read a post of yours where you said that you use a sling for your engraving arm. This sounds exactly like what I need! Would it be possible for you to post a photo of your sling set-up, how it's attached to the ceiling, and the components you used? Also, a photo of it with respect to your bench? If it's too much trouble I totally understand.

My apologies for being off topic.

Thanks in advance!
