The latter - you use a wrench to adjust the legs. The bases are

That's Teradyne and they manufacture high end test equipment. Here's
something on eBay that looks like it might have a base like you have
on part of the equipment.http://cgi.ebay.com/Teradyne-973ST-D...er_W0QQitemZ23...

I would suggest that you remove your listing from Craigslist and do a
little more research to determine what the things s are actually
worth. I would not be surprised if a Teradyne base sold new for a
thousand or two. You should also target your audience and post
listings on used test equipment web sites.

I've gotten an education on this. The guys (from this newsgroup, I
think) that commited to the stuff on Craigslist did so in good faith,
so I wouldn't dream of backing out on their deals. But I will, as you
suggested, try an Ebay listing for the other two bases that have the X-
Y tables attached. I've never sold anything on Ebay myself, just
listed some machine parts and miscellaneous stuff through a friend's
account. I guess I'll have to get a Paypal account and a throwaway
checking account to link it with.

best regards,
