FREE Animation Stand SANTA CRUZ, CA

The time has come for me to reluctantly free up some space, and I figured I'd post here before FreeCycle. If any of you guys happen to know someone who does on paper 2D animation, and they are perhaps in need of a animation stand, I have a 1960's Neilson Hordell that I no longer use. I've moved to working digitally.
The composite has 3 axis of movement, X, Y, and orbit plus the top and bottom peg bars can move in Y independent of the composite.
It's all manual. No electronics, just hand cranks (and the handles are broken off some of those, though easily replaced with a screw, a couple washers, and a bit of tubing) and a manual platten. When I got it, its camera head had also gone missing which is why it sits inside a Bessler copy stand. This isn't a perfect marriage. The lights on the Bessler (when attached) prevent more than about 10 degrees of rotation of the composite. However, they can be removed and attached to the ceiling to give a full range of motion.
In addition, only the top pegbar has ACME style pegs (ones that I somewhat crudely hand made) though both top and bottom bars have lots of screw down points for pegs and it uses the screw-type pegs. If I knew it was going to a good home, I'd be happy to make some more pegs for it to send it off well. I also have a thin gauge metal ACME and a similar round punch pegbar that I used to use taped to the deck for additional pegs.
The composite weighs about 80lbs, the rest of it is pretty light and it's pretty easy to disassemble and reassemble.
Here's a film a made on this stand:

So.. If you know anyone who might want it, let me know. Otherwise, I'll be listing it on FreeCycle next week.

I still draw everything by hand myself but wouldn't know what to do with it hon. I use an old easel stand and a home made bench with seat. The bench tilts and it has two lights attached and a place for all my pencils and pens. That things looks kinda crazy to me.
