Re: Need Assistance - Zone VI Tripod Nobs!!

[tautatis]

Happy Holidays!

I have a Zone VI Tripod with two broaken leg "tightening" nobs. The nobs are still functioning, however, I am concern they may see its end of life if by accident the tripod is hit a hard surface. I was wondering, if there is a specific supplier of Zone VI accessories that members of the LF group know I may be able to buy from.

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated!!!!

Thx,

Hie thee to the local hardware emporium for they shall have an assortment of knobs.
Also woodworkers supply stores online can help.
While you're at the hardware have 'em tell you the thread size.

I had a zone VI tripod and remember the knobs being plastic and reminded me of the drafting table knobs I bought for the table I built years ago...
I don't think they were anything special so maybe these?
Look like: http://www.amazon.com/thds-Phenolic-.../dp/B002DGJ5S2

Try a drafting supply place?
