Got it up!

Even us old guys can still put up an aluminum Christmas tree  ;-)

Vintage tree turner stand

Heading into the holidays, I was lacking one thing needed to get our aluminum Christmas tree set up for the first time, and of course I found the item I needed on ebay.  Next week I'm planning to set up the tree in our living room, and use this tree turner stand to slowly rotate the tree, and use the color wheel to light up the tree and the sputnik ornaments.  I'll post some pics when it's up.
