There were actually 3 screws... I undid one, and the head was able to move a bit, but they all had to come off before the head would rotate off. Not sure just why the head needed that much securing... I bought a couple of these Vanguard ball-heads to replace at least 1 pan and tilt head, but this must have been the tripod which came with one already on, because I certainly didn't fasten any screws on the ones I put on!
Good deal. Probably old enough they actually bolted things together right. Today the screws would be an accessory! Glad you got it going.
