 FYI - I found the following replica which includes both the Tower Jack and
the Leg Aligner function:

And I now write:

If you want a tower jack, do what I did.  I built my own. 
I estimated the dimensions and built it.
Nothing precision about them and mine worked very well until I ran into a R25 that the fella crushed the legs by overtightening the bolts. Consequently, I bent mine. I had to add material to it by welding jerry-rigged supports to it so it doesn't look very pretty now but still works. I'll eventually build another one  but that's on the back burner now.
