Anyone interested in DIY front-end alignment?

I have a "Dunlop AG0/40 Optical Toe Alignment Gauge" gathering dust. Better part of $900.00 to get the same setup new. I'd consider selling mine for somewhat less.  Used this to set up FA/Formula Junior/FF geometry. Once in a while it got used for the Lotus cars, too. Along with a camber gauge.

This would be an ideal "club purchase" opportunity, kids. This rig can set up about anything with wheels.
<sales weasel mode=on> Ten alignments and it's paid for itself! <sales weasel mode=off>

What I ~should~ be doing with it is set up in a parking lot on a Sunday and do CHEAP ($20) front-end alignment checks!

It's slick, Art. Needs a nice level, flat floor to be really accurate but it works for Formula cars doin' some fairly high speed laps... for passenger type LBC's it's umm... nifty.
