I've always thought a differential hoist was one of the 
slickest ideas ever. It's on my list of genius inventions I 
wish I'd have thought of, except for the excess chain 
slithering over the piano/plate. I passed one up at an estate 
sale some years back for that reason. Now I wish I'd have 
gotten it anyway, and just set a plastic trash can or 
something on the plate to catch and feed the chain. Older, but 
not always wiser.
