The metal "comb" thing is a Pomona "test lead holder".  They can be bought 
from Mouser Electronics for $5.85.  They have different widths, so I also 
have one that holds 1/8" cables and one that better holds those molded cables 
which in my picture don't fit well into the ones shown.  I just mounted them 
to a block of wood, ran a 7" bolt through the wood and dropped it down the 
shaft of a mic stand.  It's just that easy and you have a professional 
adjustable height cable stand.

That one shows up in a number of different musical instrument catalogs.  The 
configuration of the slots is strange though and looks like you'd have to 
remove thicker cables in the front to get at thinner ones in the back, plus 
it's 2 to 3 times more expensive than Pomona.  But the trays are a nice touch.
