Please recommend a source to buy sections of gravity roller type (sometimes
called "skate wheel") conveyor. Need length about 4 feet, 18 - 24" wide.

I'm looking for a cheap and dirty way (temporary, I hope) to unload a
reflow furnace, short of buying an expensive magazine unloader or LIFO
buffer.

Would prefer something portable with resilient rollers, which won't harm
components on a board assembly, or generate megavolts. Ideally, it would
come with adjustable stand/support to put it at the end of the furnace's
belt or edge conveyor.

If someone has solved the problem of how to unload multiple boards after
reflow in a convenient fashion without spending half the price of a
furnace, please advise. There are 18 ways to do it if you don't mind
spending the price of a BMW (OK, Honda Accord). Apparently I can't help
being cheap...
