If they are $4 each, and you buy 6 of them, you bring that stand back to life at a level where it will outlive you. Possibly by a pretty fair margin. Or just buy a new stand. There can't be just one stand that will work. As has been pointed out, stuff these days is made as cheaply as possible so they can keep prices low. I mean, no offense, but you are 73 now. How long does this thing have to last?
