craig_lass1 Posted January 18, 2021 Share Posted January 18, 2021 No, that's part of the joy of owning them! If you want them shiny, use Mother's Mag Wheel Polish. You could coat them with something, but I'd be afraid of gumming it up. I keep a very light film of oil on the lower sections. Gotcha, great show pieces but a bit messy to use in practice.

craig_lass1 Posted January 18, 2021 Share Posted January 18, 2021 A limited use of Armaflex pipe insulation of the correct inner diameter, thin wall, self sealing might work and certainly would make carrying and handling more comfortable and warmer. Yes, pipe foam could certainly work. I use that on other tripods as well. Thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robert_ante Posted February 8, 2021 Share Posted February 8, 2021 My Tiltall tripods were in my study when it was destroyed by fore. My black model only needed to be whipped with wet paper towel and looked like new. The silver anodized one was encrusted and looked corroded, so I made a claim for it. Later, before putting in trash, gave it a second look. Discolorization is permanent, and a little stiff. Will try WD40 to loosen up. A question: I bought silver one at local pawn shop in late 1970s. The center column has a place of felt that is bit by bit descending down the column. Is this cloth factory installed, or a fix by pawn shop? I paid $15 for tripod.
