I'd buy at least a couple sets (and likely more)

I realize these are uncommon; curious if anyone
has a spare pair somewhere
(hey, that rhymes.) I'd like to be able to pull out the CPU on my 11/70
without worrying about the whole thing tipping over and crushing people I
care about. It's the little things, really...
I made two pairs of repo ones
that turned out beautifully. They have a welded steel bar
load-bearing skeleton and adjustable pad like the original, and a 3D-printed shell
sprayed
in satin black that completes the aesthetics and follows the "six foot rule" in
that they
probably wouldn't be picked out from the originals from a few feet away. I have yet
to
machine the bolt head tapers to the originals but lost the photo of one that was posted
here
some time ago.
I got a lot of help from cctalk on the dimensions of the foot a while back, but some of
these are still a tiny bit inaccurate, but I can't expect the average person to have
a surface
table, height gauge, angle gauge etc.
I was planning to make a few pairs for sale some day. If there was sufficient interest I
can
get to fabricating the cutting, bending and welding jigs to produce then more quickly
than the
completely hand-made ones I have done. The biggest problem is I'm not sure how much
they
would cost. Also I have not yet laser-cut the accompanying kick panel. I have the
dimensions for
that but I would rather measure one myself before committing to those.
