I've been searching the internet for anyone who has a Manfrotto 530SPRB squid mid-level spreader in stock. I've found a company... not sure if i'm allowed to post links or not.
They're a Hungarian based website called TripodMarket.com - Tripod Systems, Stabilizers, Cranes, Jibs and other Broadcast Equipment (http://www.tripodmarket.com)

Is anyone familiar with them? Or would anyone know anywhere else to get a Manfrotto 530SPRB? I've seriously spent half of today searching, but haven't had any luck as it's a discontinued product.

Thanks for any help :)

Hi Neil.

I'm curious, why would anyone be looking for a 530SPRB in this day and age?

I found this on e-bay:
Manfrotto 530SPRB Squid Mid Level Spreader New for Video Tripod Legs | eBay (http://www.ebay.com/itm/like/221466422523?lpid=82)

there is a company in Nova Scotia called Carsand Mosher who have some parts for vintage Manfrottos
I was able to procure a locking clamp for my old 074 and noticed the have a basement full of stuff

Ffordes photographic ( here in Scotland ) are still listing the 531 mid level spreader for only £29 brand new .

I bought one from them a while back for my 351 legs and it works a treat .
