    Vintage Photo Copy Stand...........

    Found an old Asahi Pentax photo copy stand advertised on Craig's List for $25 dollars. It was in poor condition, but I felt that it could be restored and put to use again. I used a 27" length of one inch PVC pipe for the main vertical pole, and some rifle stock "Tru-Oil" on the wood base. It...
