Hey Festooligans,
I found this guy on Ebay.

Since I have three of them already : I thought I would pass on the opportunity here. This Workmate has all metal parts. It is in a class above the new plastic versions. The shipping is expensive( I think my previous ones were in the $30-$40 range) and I usually tell the seller I'm OK with a $10 handling fee.

In full disclosure I have received no kick backs from the seller(yet )

I have one of those, too.  All metal.  Very stable.  Despite my having 3 MFTS, I'm keeping my ancient Workmate.  It came from my wife's uncle who was a highly skilled carpenter, complete home and church builder, furniture maker and turner.  His old unit looks like it went through the WWII pacific campaign, but everything is still there and in good working order, even the little rubber pads on the folding feet.  It's truly an example of "they don't make them like they used to."  I use it when I need to work on the lower level of my home, save's me having to lug an MFT down and back up.  I find its clamping capabilities quite useful.
