Cirkut Ring Gear

[Ron Klein <panorama@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Tim:

The original ring gears are made of 1/8 brass and nickel plated.  I must
caution you about making the gears as they need to be perfectly centered on
the aluminum casting that the tripod legs attach to.  I have thought about
making the gears for a long time and if I ever get around to it I would
probably leave the center hole quite small to aid in mounting.  After the
gear is centered and mounted, then cut the gear so it has a one inch width.

BTW the numbers you found in the camera are probably not serial numbers, but
more like daily production matching numbers.  You're right that they should
match, but if it fits it will be OK.
