Oconnar 50d head repair

[wheatgrinder]

Anyone know where I can get my O'connar 50D head overhauled?

Thanks

Outside of O'Connor directly? You might try these guys:

They do an overhaul/update service for the 515 that I have been wanting to try out for mine (515). IDK if they do anything with the 50D's or not though.

It's not leaking is it?

not leaking, but drag is hard and I have to 'warm it up" to get it smooth... maybe its low?

Couldn't say really.

Apparently Visual Products also services them:

I only asked as that's really the only thing that kills an O'Connor head - if the body is somehow cracked and leaking.

Also found this:

Which is seriously a blast from the past. It's the TRV-900 page guy!

Makes me think I could redo the fluid my self.

Would love to find some photos of the inside of the 50D. IF I do this myself, ill make a tut out of it..
