Previous owner of my ht passed, his wife wanted everything cleaned up. In his junk pile was a heavy duty tripod that was going to be scraped. Brought it home and tried to figure out what it was used for but never did so I took it to the Findlay show and sold it for $40 to a guy to make a planter stand out of it. He was going to pick it up later because it was too heavy to carry around. 10 minutes later another guy stopped and said he had been looking for that tripod for years, come to find out it held the remote for tracking airplanes with a search light, who knew. Happy ending,tripod ended up where it needed to be. One man’s junk is another man’s treasure!
