I'm fixinta' ditch my current lathe stand in NH and build myself a new
one in TN..... (No sense taking up needfull room in the moving truck
with scrap woon ;-) Needs to accomodate 2 bed extensions and the
outrigger tool rest. About 3-4 years ago I seem to recall someone making
a rather nice "A" Frame stand for a Nova 3003 lathe that would fit the
requirements rather nicely. But I cannot find them now through google
searches.

Why an "A" frame? Why not a cabinet you can fill with things which would be
in the way or stored elsewhere if you were storing air or sand under your
lathe? I keep my one-trick ponies under mine. The few times a year I
remove the corded drill, biscuit joiner, reciprocating saw, etc. doesn't
interfere with my turning at all.
Mine's of particle board - nice and heavy - with casters at one end which
contact the floor when I lift the other wheelbarrow style.

I have a big box cabinet now, I don't like it.
An A-Frame would be easy to clean up.... No top for the shavings and
other flotsam to get trapped, in low center of gravity to add
weight/ballast to, convenient place to rest a foot, open air storage for
blanks and roughed out bowls.
