[NLRS] Secoind attempt - first time was rejected as UCE by qth.net

[Donn Baker]

Hi Chris,
I have a tripod to be used for parts... with a "catch !"  It seems that
there are two versions of these tripods... one uses 1/4-20 hardware and the
other uses 1/4-28 hardware.  Other than that, they seem to be interchangable.

Which casting to you need ?  I'm guessing its the one at the top of the
leg, right under the platform.  If so, I have a spare sitting in front of
me.  Try to get it to you tommorrow ?
