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??
