Wall Mounted turntable stand: suggestions please?


Greetings analog fans! I'm seeking suggestions for a Wall Mount turntable stand - I'm looking to support a 60 pound VPI HW19 MK4 that I'm interested in, but I have no more rack space available on my rack & no good floor space available nearby for a floor mounted stand. The TT dimensions with dust cover are 21.5"W x 16.25"D x 6.5"H (I believe).
Searching the forum archives I found references to a Target stand (apparently no longer available - Audio Advisor used to sell them) & also I found a reference to Sound Organization wall mount stand. I need some ideas regarding where to locate/buy one of these, or any other quality wall mount stands that you may like? Or if you know of anyone wanting to sell a wall mount stand, then please advise either via forum post or send me an email. Thanks for your help & suggestions.

I have a VPI Jr mounted on the Target stand, and I belive that the stand is still made, evan though AA does not sell it. The trick to using a wall mounted stand is two fold: 1, Mount it on a Load Bearing wall, non load bearing walls are not tied into the total structure as well as the former, and they can infact move at modest SPLs; 2, use a good isolation platform, while Abstract7 seems to have gool luck w/ granit, I prefer corian, or some othert dense composit material. Whatewrver you do, make sure that you secure it to the wall w/ propper fasteners, #10 Steel, or SS drywall screws at a minimum.
Happy listening
