Andrew.
         I have attached a picture of the jack that I use.  I first saw 
the design in an English piano parts catalogue.  Fletcher and Newman I 
think.  I went to the auto wreckers and bought the scissor jack and 
then to a local welder who made the stand for me.  It works well and 
has made my life easier on many occasions.
  Just found the URL for the Jack.
