Broken handle on top plate of Kalimar tripod

I have a Kalimar tripod, model CE-3, K-492. The 6'', or so, handle on the top plate broke off inside the threaded portion while I was trying to loosen it. The tripod is now useless as far as trying to mount a camera on the top plate. Would appreciate any repair/replacement advice. Lou Ritchie

I would try this place.

or contact the manufacturer. Tripod parts are pretty hard to find. Its not worth it for the companies to sell parts, plus many companies have folded due to the loss of film cameras and now digitlal SLR sales are drying up.

Try www.TripodQuickRelease.com for that part. There is listed the widest selection of quick releases and support more brands than any other web site I've seen. Because your tripod is not supported by the manufacturer; parts lists and pars are not available, you should measure the opening and see what other brand quick releases will work paying attention to the shape and locking mechanism. Otherwise just get another tripod.
