Bring Back Transfat!
I stopped into a music store in Ft. Wayne last week and saw a neat item. A 8 or 10 space rack housing mounted atop what looked like a the caster section of an office chair. Very cool!
I didn't have time to check it out but I wish I had cause I can't find anything on the web about it and I don't remember the name of the music store.
Anybody know who markets this?
 
Close, but no cigar Deputy.

It took 12 phone calls, but I found the name of the store (Music Star) and called them. They said it's made by a company named Kammand, marketed by Ultra, and the model number is RF12C.
I'll be damned if I can find anything like that on the web.

Picture a goal post (uprights) with the center support going into the threaded lower section of an office chair's X-shaped caster base. Between the uprights is a pivoting rack box. Low profile (right at your fingers while sitting in your studio chair), adjustable, mobile and cool looking.
 
This kinda what I remember it looking like....

hey,

getuhgrip,

guess what? I am also looking for that exact rack stand. I saw it in a picture of a mastering engineer and I liked it. I then saw the real thing in musicians friend in L.A for $79, but I did not buy it.

i have looked all over the web for it but cant find it either.
 
Is this what you are referring to?

This is a trip! I've been to all the places you guys are posting looking for this thing but haven't seen yet.

This thing had a 4 or 5 leg "spider" as a base with rollers just like your computer chair. In the center is a shaft with a smaller adjustable shaft coming up (again, just like your chair) with a horizontal brace attatched to the top. At each end of this horizontal bar is a vertical arm with adjustment knobs at the top.
Now, between the two vertical arms is one of the small rack cabinets (like a desktop unit) held in place by the two adjustment knob/bolts. The rack box pivots to your desired angle.
The point of this thing is that it's light-weight and compact.

If I can find one, I'm going to rip the seat off a computer chair, weld a set of "uprights" to the shaft where the seat used to be, and mount a small rack box with threded knobs. It can be as cool as you want with either the threaded up/down shaft or with a hydraulic cylider. Me....gotta be hydraulic!
 
BTW- CJ, the guy I talked to said the thing was $79, but it didn't look as big and heavy as the picture you posted, and had the "spider" type base.

I'm not driving all the way back to Ft. Wayne, and this guy doesn't want to ship one down to Louisville.
I'll drill one of the other guys at the shop for more details on manufacturer/marketer tomorrow.
