How often do you need a jack-in -the-box?

[John Ross]

My two scissor jacks, cost me $30 Cdn, at an auto wreckers yard. It might even have been $20, it was so long ago, I forgot.
That and some scrap wood, allows me to work on grands. i.e. remove legs, lyres and replace same, put on a truck.
It is something, you will use many times over the years.

  Greetings,

            I have this job a guy wants to attatch the pedal lyre, but the piano has no casters and isnt high enough to do so. I am just wondering if I should refer the job to another tuner in our chapter, who has the jack, since I wont be able to make the money back for buying the jack on the first job. Is it worth buying? Is there a big call for this type of work, or will the thing just sit? Is there a "home made way" of doing this job?
