My stand is a pre96
PRS-6 which, I’ll admit was too low when I bought it. But I had someone weld a couple of feet to the stand about 20 years ago and I’ve been pleased with it since. Here it is holding my tandem.
My daughter has an old folding PRS-6 that I modified with a
Park repair stand extension. That fixed the height problem with that stand. The extension isn’t that expensive either. It was easier to modify because of the bolt on head
I had yet another Park stand with the same weld on head that my stand has that I was going to try to modify but my daughter gave it away (I told her she could) before I had a chance to work on it. I think it would have been easy to cut off the clamp head and use the extension tube and either bolt or clamp the head to the tube. The guy I had weld the extension onto my work stand offered to do an adjustable height but I opted not to do that…stupid me
