yeah, these trucks, I guess you would call them, seem to be somewhat 
popular around here(boston) as well.

that would make sense.

I like having the legs off for many reasons as well. Al, if I understand 
you correctly, you are saying that you set it up as one-size-fits-all.  
I don't get that.  Case lengths vary considerably from 5' to 9' creating 
unique triangles. The keyboard end might be standardized, but the length 
has to vary, and that, for me has meant disassembly and reconstruction. 
   My experience has been that  one size fits one rather than "all", and 
there is the rub for me.   Am I missing something?
