Default ASK-21 fuselage dolly

I've volunteered to repair a non-functional ASK-21 fuselage dolly and
to do it I need photos of one showing the original condition. Please,
if you have one in working order, take a few shots of the steel frame
works and email them to me.

This one has a scissor jack welded into place between two rigid frame
members(!) Its only possible function is to bend the frame which IS
bent. The unknown bozo welder damaged the fiberglass with heat but
covered his tracks with duct tape painted red to match original
paint. (Take home: don't let bozo's work on your glider stuff.)

For those unfamiliar, the ASK-21 is a fixed gear trainer with a nose
wheel. The fuselage, in its dolly, is intended to be rolled off the
trailer tail ramp onto the ground. When the glider is assembled, the
dolly mechanism has to lower the saddle so it can be rolled forward
passing under the nose wheel.

To get the dolly from under the fuselage, we had to stack some boards
behind the main wheel and round up enough muscle to push the glider's
main wheel up onto them.

Thanks in advance.
