Where to purchase a cheap copy stand online?

[tearcut1]

could include lights and something mainly ideal for papers, images, graphic design stuff- contains a good holder and goes to a3 and beyonds is a plus.

Anyone know?

Some older enlargers are easily converted to copy stands. I don't remember the specific models that I've used in the past, so you should be able to inspect such an enlarger before buying.

Here's an idea that is cheap... and online... but you have to create the physical manifestation yourself.

And how much is cheap"

For many years I used a De Vere 54a enlarger frame with a De Vere whole plate/Half plate/5x4 monorail camera attached to it, this was used for copying artwork. To compliment this we had 4 lamps, 2 either side to give even illumination. Should add the enlarger head etc was in use elsewhere in a custom made horizontal frame.

Some commercial copy stands use enlarger columns/base-boards, you need to see what you can finde.
