Hi,
does anyone have a projector stand to sell?
Top shelf must be 48" off the ground and both ends of the shelf must be supported, as like the traditional projector stand.

Thanx,
Dave

Have a look at eBay reference 140222402230 for a Unicol projector stand which I recommend. I have one of these (badged as Bell & Howell) permanently set up in my living room. It does not take up as much floor space as one with four legs.

As I post this there are no bids. It starts at £10. I bought my stand about ten years ago and paid around £50 for it.

It's quite sturdy, and easily dismantles for carring around in the car.

Thanks Maurice,
unfortunately this is similar to the one I bought;

which is only supported in the middle. The result is that it tips when dealing with the weight of my Eumig S940.
So I need a traditional type of stand.
I see an American company (Da-lite):

do something that would be handy, but I cant afford £90 plus postage from the U.S.

The stand you illustrate is a completely different kettle of fish! Yes, it does look fragile!

But the one which I recommend is very sturdy, and very heavy. I have over 20 16mm projectors and there is no problem with any of them. It will not fall over. Go for it, you won't regret it.

You've convinced me Maurice!
I'll let you know how I get on.

Send me a PM and I'll reply with photo of my stand (which is just behind me) with an Elmo GS-1200 sitting on it. As you know it's heavier than a lot of 16mm projectors.

Hi Maurice,
lost out on that stand I'm afraid.
Still interested in a traditional projector stand if anyone can help me. Top shelf must be 48" off the ground.
Thanks,
Dave
