I have had a tripod like that for 53 going on 54 years. I have used it in the USA, in England, on the continent, in Hawaii and on a cruise in the Mediterranean. It has always worked flawlessly. Unfortunately, I cannot calculate the cost. It must be in the tens of thousands of dollars, at least!
I am certain it has given you lots of good support if you have held on to it that long. I expect you never thought of trading it in for a new model either. I've had mine for 43 years. First one, too!
