[CAUT] Spider dolly

[Wolfley, Eric (wolfleel)]

Oh, and the arms have a graceful curve to them...rather elegant looking
compared to the alternative. I figured it was worth the extra money
since I'll probably be looking at them and pushing them around for the
rest of my life.

I think we bought the last 2 concert grand dollies they had 4 years
ago...very pricey but the best dollies I've ever seen. In addition to
being very nice looking, the steel is at least twice as thick, coated
with some kind of rubbery paint to keep it acoustically dead and there
is no discernable flexing. Too bad they aren't made anymore (to my
knowledge).

It was Decals Unlimited that carried the dolly.  I'm not sure if it is
still available.  Phone 651-429-4465

What's the size of the grand?

Hey, Ed,

I don't think I've ever seen a curved-leg spider dolly.  We have a
concert grand on a Colson dolly here, and I painted it last year with a
couple of cans of semi-gloss black Rustoleum.  I covered the casters
with some plastic sacks, took it apart, and painted it outside.  It
looks great - vast improvement over battleship grey.

I have a little grease gun that takes the 3 oz tubes.  I use
multipurpose lithium grease on all our artist benches.  Also on the
casters on the big spider dolly our Bose sits on.

Regards,
Ken Z.

Is the black, curved-leg spider dolly still made? Who is the vendor? Any
suggestions regarding having a Colson dolly painted? Thank you for
providing information.
 
Additionally, what do you recommend to lubricate the mechanism in an
artist bench?
