I went with the flag pole bracket idea. I found some at Home Depot. They are plastic, so I'm a bit concerned, but time will tell.
I also bought a long bicycle brake cable to reach when the handle is extended. The problem of course, is that it's too short to fold the handle level, and if you make the cable long enough so the handle folds flat, there is too much slack for it to work with the handle extended. I'm going to put in a cable splitter, that can be found at bicycle shops. That way I (you) can have the cable the correct length to work with the handle extended, and disconnect the splitter to fold the handle flat.
Hmmm,
I just had another thought while typing this....move the release handle to the side of the platform and set the cable to have the right length when the table is at the highest it will be used.
Anyway......I should have done this years ago, it's already saving my back
I think my problem, is that I used a longer cable, but the old housing, which was too short to maintain tension with slack on it.
I'll have to buy a new cable housing. Do you recall how long your cable is?
THX
Quoted from Hagar55:Any idea what this cart is called or where to buy one like this?
I call it "Fred"
Quoted from KongDonkey:I use my lift on carpet all the time and i use it all the time for various other projects besides pinball...it’s honestly one of the best tools I’ve ever spent money on
I love that story
Hi all,
this has probably been covered but......
My lift does not go down anymore (no wife jokes). Actually, it starts to go down very slowly, then stops, slightly higher than the bottom of a pin, so I can't slide it underneath any more. It won't budge no matter how much weight I put on it, or even if I lift the release by hand instead of using the cable release.
Any ideas?
Quoted from AMBoggs:I’m going to guess the safety bar engaged.
LOL, There's a safety bar?
So there is! I've had this for years and never noticed.
Thank you!!!
Quoted from polyacanthus:Instructions? What are those?
we don't need no stinking' instructions
OK, after years of faithful service, my cart blew a tire!
The black plastic that they call a tire cracked off of the hub. I can't find parts for this on HF's site. Do you know of any good replacements? Worse comes to worse, it'll limp along when needed.
Edit: While the part is not listed in their replacement parts catalog, they do offer a bunch of casters. I guess it's time to head off to the store.
