This now tops my personal list as the worst repair/reweld job I have ever seen! I wonder how many welding rods that took!

Here are two sample pictures. Go to the auction to see the rest... and the price!!! :rofl:

OMG that looks like someone used a quart of JB weld!!!!

My eyes!

...usable...?

Only parts usable are the legs,tripod head and the side plates. Everything else is scrap. Toolman might have the pintle that is able to be machined to work. Even the mounting fork has been de-milled. OMG...what a mess...!

EEEEEEK !! What has been seen can not be Unseen :jedicrying::jedicrying::jedicrying:

 

[Abominog]

I’ve never seen a drunk tripod before

 

[Thompsongunner]

Look at the Pluses though...early traverse knob and a partial leather leg strap! My first impressions of this one is that it looks like it was completely built out of modeling clay or its a life-size tripod for the green plastic army men. Even the legs look like they were sculpted from clay.

what? that'll buff out

My, my. That is extremely sad. I am looking to see what parts would be worth the bother, at that price. I am not convinced that there is $700 worth of parts left in that, unless one really wants to have a difficult project to while the hours away. Yes, the gas bottle knob is salvageable, maybe the legs with data plate and hardware. But I can't help but wonder if there is a lot of Bondo or something under all that paint. Big gamble.

But best thing about this thread are Abominog's and Slowfire's comments. Classic, gentlemen! :rofl:

Dibs! wait, never mind. 700 bucks for a data plate seems high. I thought I did a crappy job with my little harbor freight welder. maybe it was a middle school shop project?

 

[heracles1100]

Lols, eye bleach needed.

Titties and beer, Acid burned eyes :rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl:

One should be embarrassed to list this for sale.

Not if you are five years old

Yes, what a shame. A perfect example of a tripod worth more as a demilled kit than a badly assembled tripod. Even at $200 delivered I would have to think long and hard about buying it.....
