As I said before
Dream come true. Thanks Machine Gun Dave @ Sarco.
That said all of the tripods I bought were stripped someplace of a LOT of parts. Had to search in the attic to find a lot of them.
That said L4997 was not too bad.
Missing "goose neck", both traverse locks, T&E, and traverse to body screws. Really not that bad.
The other L5035 was missing the same parts but had the "T-handle" missing and the nut on the back of the traverse that the "T-handle" screws into was removed. Ok, have the blue-prints and a lathe so sometime, I'll make a true replacement for the nut and bolt setup that I made up. The nut and bolt setup works, however.
More pics later I promise
Since I took the pics I added the traverse stops. Ok, still need to add the little traverse bar screws at each end. ANYONE have any extras for sale??

Here is L4997
And the pair L5035 added
