RE: [PSUBS-MAILIST] I need a hand.

Jim,
 
     I'll send you a picture tonight of what I'm up against. The periscope could be a wonderful hands on display and those with more access to machine shop metal working tools could go crazy with this thing. It does not take hundreds of dollars to have a good working periscope as I will present. The camera I used was $12.00 the scope shaft was $30.00 and the color monitor was $29.00. A little imagination with the periscopes lower end and your in the periscope mode!
      The automotive back up color monitor I have ordered has yet to arrive but it's on it;s way already.

Hi David,
 
If the support can be steel, I can probably help. I'll need a simple drawing to understand what you are wanting.
 
Best Regards,

To all:
 
     It's hard sometimes to ask for aid,  but I feel I have no choice this time.
 
     I have made a periscope that offers anyone who operates it the possibility to construct one of their own. The problems lies in presenting this jewel. I have two aluminum plates onto which I had hoped to mount this in a verticle position. The problem is the 1/2" shaft onto which I had planned to install this has proven too flimsy to support this device.
     What I need is someone with square stock and a stand to provide a vertical support onto which I can attach these two horizontal aluminum plates to provide adequate support for this periscope. The spacing between these two plates acn be varied.
     This promises to be a great hands on presentation.
     Rather than show this with these two aluminum plates laying flat on a table, I thought I would humble myself and ask for help.
     The most ideal stand would present this periscope at a normal level while seated in a chair. The periscope turns easily as it passes into two  brass fittings. Two John Wayne handles make turning this a breeze.
 
     Help!
