careful, you'll become a hoarder.
you could get one of each from time immemorial, or as far back as '61-'62 when hawkins' daddy created the first one for what became park tool. i understand he has an/the original.
and o'course you have to get alllllllllllllllllll the accessories that are/were available for them.

Hey for indoor usage do yourself a favor and get a fresh new tarp, something like 8' x 12' or bigger and some blue painters tape.

I like the kind that is green or blue on one side and black on the other, that way I always knew what side was the greasey side (blue or green) and the clean side (black). The blue tape holds it in place so it won't move around and then rips off without affecting any paint.

Just make sure to get the tarp up the wall to at least drive train height and then cover all the floor under the work area of the stand.

I also have a PCS10, got it for an unbelievable $40 from a college student who did the ASME HPV competition and was off to go to work but didn't want this. Awesome stand.
