Got a Sachtler fluid head for $20 at a yard sale

So I scored this head for $20 having the feeling that it must be worth much more.

It says "sachtler - munchen" and has "P139" engraved on the side.


It didn't come with a plate and I am 99% sure its a 100mm ball.


It has 7 steps of tilt and 3 steps of drag. It also had a red dial that won't move and does nothing to my knowledge.


I am hoping one of you guys could give me some more info on this since I am not having the best luck googling around.

Can anybody tell me more about this?
Where I could find a plate? Its value?

Maybe someone wants to buy it off me?
 
What you have there my friend is a Sachtler Panorama 7+3. I have the 3+3 version and my father the 7+7 version. It's a wonderful bang-for-the-buck head. It's smooth and can take a decent size camera. Regular Sachtler wedge plates fit well. Good score indeed! I'd just get some legs for it and you have a great tripod!
 
Indeed great deal! We have a similar one on small alu sticks, and it makes a great relatively small tripod that allows for some great pans and tilts. It's solid and prefer it many times over the manfrotto that we also have. These are well made heads.
