Spring loaded tilt back stand.....
Does anyone know where I could purchase a spring loaded tilt back similar to what Evans used to put on some of their amps? I've searched the web with no luck so far.

If it's a spring loaded handle that you're looking for (I believe that's what they used), check Reliable Hardware under the "handles" section.

Part-express has them too. I bought a pair of these for my kickback cabinets. Work good.

Lee, further or farther. Both are perfectly good English. No wonder the dictionary's so fat.
Spring-loaded anything makes me nervous. How far will the amp travel if this device malfunctions?

FWIW, here's a shot of one in use on an Evan's cab. You pull it out toward the front and sit the amp down on it. The weight of the amp holds it in place. The spring pulls it back flat when you lift the amp.
If the spring breaks, it will just flop around...nothing to hold it out/up/whatever.
Either way, mounted as a carry handle or a tilt back device, you can still use it, it just won't go back flush when released.

Aaah! Now I get what you're talking about. Cool idea. Mike, I apologise. You described it perfectly. The angle probably wouldn't be enough for the steel player to hear himself though. I recently put my amp up on an amp stand and for the first time ever, I can hear myself. BTW, I feel it made me play better. RP

It works just fine. It does several things....it's about 3 inches, enough tilt to let you hear the speaker better. You might be surprised how much it helps there. It angles the cabinet about right so that it gets in the vocal mics....a plus if you're not mic'ed to the house.
It also keeps the amp/cab in contact with the floor which equates to more volume and low end. Whether that works for a player depends on one's own personal bent.
It's built in so you don't have another piece to tote like an amp stand and costs a fraction of a mic stand.
