Fwd from Zeke Peterhoff, contact info at end of message :
"Colleagues: I had this rig built custom by an iron worker 12 years ago
and it's a nice piece of equipment if you're working a small show that
could use a big act in a large space, indoors or out. Perfect if you
have rope walking experience on improvised setups or even better for
performers who have related equilibristic experience but no wire training
and 100 hours or so to invest in developing the skill.
The truth is that I'd love to hold on to it but my R & D over the last
and the next five years are locked into "Peterhoff's - Your Uncle Sam"
rather then anything like a small circus or variety show even though I'm
sure there is profit to be made off a low wire act at corporate picnics
and such. Sam has my practices tied up with wide spread musical drills
and the fresher skill to me of ol' time tap dance and I have not touched
the wire since 1999. Besides that it bothers me to hold on to a large
piece of equipment that I'm neither using or marketing, I am also paying
for a space where it is up to work on yet never visit.
It's a cast iron A-frame 10 feet wide and the wire is also at 10 feet
from the ground. There is no additional support involved or required,
it's completely free standing and easily functions as a practice wire if
you set up a platform underneath the wire as I have. Breaks down and
sets up very very easily and I've transported it in a full sized station
wagon without difficulty. The materials can weather a semipermanent
backyard setup or be assembled anyplace with a 20 foot clearance indoors.
This thing is a money maker but My Muse is morphing me insistently into
America's principle archetype and you can't argue with women. Two years
ago I purchased a very small row house with no yard to speak of and this
rig, along with the ongoing cost of storing it, is becoming my personal
albatross. If I were to hold on to it, it would be dormant through the
rest of the decade and, although that is tempting because I'd get back to
it, it would not be prudent so I'm going against my natural form and
trying to be prudent.
I figure $3,000 to be a fair price which a couple of the right gigs
would easily cover if you can market it. The buyer would have to come to
Philadelphia to get or see it and that would be nice too 'cause we could
have a juggle and some lunch.
If you're interested, ring me up (215 - 425- 8209) or write
theclowndog@juno.com. If you know anyone who might be able to make use
of this equipment, please forward this missage. Thanks and best to
yourself and the community at large.
Sincerely In Jest & In All Things ..... Zeke"
