No, no, not another which tripod should I buy but rather where in the known free universe can I get parts for my Redged RTB 324?

I searched the web site, they list B&H as the US distributor, a call to B&H resulted in no results, they never heard of it and don't think they ever handled that brand. After many emails with no response from Redged I was thinking of a call to the Netherlands but thought a post here would get better results. I really need to overhaul the bushings and get a bottom hook assembly that was some how lost by my daughters stupid boyfriend, I never did like that dip wad,. Ideally a parts breakdown with part numbers would be great
Thanx,
Best Regards,
George

If you have a problem getting the bushings you need from the other side of the pond you should give Grainger or McMaster-Carr a try. Especially McMaster-Carr. They are an industrial supply house. Many devices use off the shelf components or materials, such as bushings and bushing stock. Odds are one of those 2 places will have what you are looking for or the material to fabricate new ones.

You may not have noticed, but their listing states that they can not ship to the U.S.
