Yes - it was a nice setup until I took the CS80 away :^) This is what
Jobson did with U.K., too.

Until I finally tracked down the original legs, I used a heavy duty X
stand, rated for 300lbs. Unfortunately, something messed up on it.
About an hour before someone dropped off a CS80 at my house (it's still
there - I'm not sure when he's coming back from vacation!), I set it up
and just for fun put all my weight on it. It collapsed, giving me some
nice bruises. I'm still glad I did it - I don't want to imagine if we
had dropped the CS80 on it!
