Yeah, I've put a little ws2 lube on the ball to smooth it out and stop the squeak.

*sees images*

I know, right?! I hate it when my balls squeak.

 

[drglock]

Maybe just something on it but looks cracked too.

Uhm…sure. Yeah, of course, doesn’t everyone?

Need a dehumidifier in your basement and finish the floor while you’re at it

What is really interesting is that normally a lot of those parts are Aluminum (RRS tripod heads, RRS Arco plates, ect) screws/bolts should be stainless. You really need to work at it to get those to corrode (can happen, done it, but it takes work).

@BurtG you should delete your dup post on this subject.

Anyway, I was looking at my Anvil and it looks to have a different design than yours.

Mine is three pieces. Two magnetic top/bottom supports that sandwich a non-magnetic handle.

I assume the supports are steel (magnetic stainless, perhaps) and the handle would be aluminum.
