I went to a place that sells fabricating steel (C-purlins and the like) and they had a yard full of odds and ends including bits of gas-pipeline with flanges and the like and was able to get a great 3 metre length for free. I did a bit of cutting and welding and bolted it onto a slab and ususing the bolts at the base to set levels - avoiding the need for a separate adjustment plate on top.
If you can't get good solid pipe, you can always use 2 sections of 6-inch C-Purlin back-to-back and bolted or welded together and with plates bolted top and bottom. Cheap as chips and more than stable enough for an EQ6.
