Serious height adjustment
Because of my height (I’m 6 feet 6 inches tall), my stringing machine was too low even at its maximum height of 48 inches. Rather than prop the machine up on a riser and risk it tipping over, I took the adjustable post to a machine shop. It made me a new post that is about three times longer than the old one. The new post fits down inside the machine’s column just like the old one did, but now the machine can be easily raised to the proper height. I no longer slouch while stringing and my back is saved! It was economical to have the new post made, too. The machine shop charged me only $40 for all parts and labor, and even painted the post to match the color of the machine at no extra charge!
