At last my old, simple tripod that I bought to complement my then new Minolta 303 has developed
another age-related condition - dried out spacer "rubber" to keep the legs in place...

...and...

About 20 years ago the other plastic knob and raising handle began to break, but the tilt lever knob is
still going...

It can still stand quite steadily on its 3 original rubber feet :nod:
At this rate I expect I'll to get another 46 years out of it :p...

All the best for the next 46 years Am not that you would need it that long :D

[martycon]

Am you could have posted this to the "still alife" forum.:D

[ameerat42]

Ta, folks. Glad you picked it up, M A :D Marty, nah, I didn't want to waste any CC.
It's just something I realised today :umm:

Ah, I remember the days when I used to have some kind of rubber... or anything whatsoever, on the base of my tripod legs. Been a few decades now...
