I finally made up my mind about a bead roller. I called Summit to order the Baileigh BR-18M-18 for $295, shown in the dinky picture.

The Summit site said they had one in stock and could ship the next day. The lady on the phone said that they were out of stock please wait while I call Baileigh. She came back a few minutes later to say that Baileigh was out of stock and it would be at least a month to get one. I said no thanks.
After thinking about it I decided that the stand would make it hard to store and I was already accumulating a bunch of metal working tools that took up space. I could make a bead roller from the Harbor Freight kit that bolted on to the stand that the stretcher/shrinker sat on. That way I could unbolt the bead roller when I wasn't using it and put it in the attic. Brilliant! One trip to Harbor Freight later I had a bead roller kit for half of the Baileigh. Yes, kit. I didn't expect this thing to be usable right out of the box and it even says kit on the instructions.

The plan is to reinforce the plate with 1 1/2" angle (an old bed frame), add feet for bolting to the stand, add zirks to the bearing blocks and basically go over all of the parts.

I think that there is some kind of garage law that says you will only have half as much gas for the MIG as you really need no matter what size the project is. Predictably, I got half way through welding on the angle when the gas ran out. At least I had just enough bed frame left to finish cutting the parts.
