Building up a tripod system for my DVX100. So far I have a O'Conner 35A tripod with a 4" bowl and an old O'Conner model 30 fluid head. The head came with a Mitchel mount, a 4" round plate with a pin in it. It bolts to the pan spindle so it can be removed. I could machine a claw ball but it will be a lot of work. I'd rather find the original type or one similar to adapt to the head. Anybody have some old parts that they would like to sell?
Thank you

Well I guess that no one has anything they want to part with. Can somebody with an O'Conner 4" claw ball draw up a print so I can try and duplicate one? It would be a lot easier to remachine an existing ball but I guess I will just make one from scratch.
Thanks

Paul, I'm not trying to ignore you. I think I may have a problem with the ball size and am trying to get it resolved. The top of the bowl measures 4.75" or 120mm. A 4" diameter gauge drops deep into the bowl. Could be that I have a weird size here. Anybody with a 4" bowl want to get some measurements for me?
Thank you
Bill
