One of the hobby shop owners has a engine test stand made from the 1980's, it's all aluminum, trussed and free standing about 14'' high, it even has a built in throttle bracket with a little T-handle and control rod. I'll have to call him and see who made it, but it was a manufactured engine test stand.
It is made by the Japanese company MI Products. MI Products (a Japanese DuBro) does not currently have a US distributor that I know of, but there was one in Canada. I have the test stand; I picked it up in Japan on a business trip in 70's. They still make it. It is a very nice test stand and I have been using it for 35 years.
