Bencher is no more, that is the tripod and copy stand company, Googling for Bencher
takes you to Vibroplex that makes Morse Code keys and amateur radio equipment.
There is a link on the Vibroplex site for Bencher but it's Bencher brand morse code keys.

There is a brochure online that I guess dates to 2011 here - https://cdn-docs.av-iq.com/brochure/Tripod_Brochure.pdf

Does anyone have any of their older catalogs for their tripods and heads their willing to scan and post here ?

The link is the definitive and last catalog made by last owner

The address was his garage

I talked to husband wife team several times by telephone and bought the last 2 NOS in box tripod head screws

The screws are very unique and better than any other made by anybody

1/4-20 and 3/8-16

Spring loaded allowing the screw to retract

Screw height adjustable to short ot very long

Big metal knob clamps tight

A big plus is the large base plates can mount 2 screws for NO twist

They sold many and many still sell used

I even worked in the large factory for a week in the 60's

I quit

Pity thats the definitive catalog, they had various models of the legs that I'm trying to figure out.
