I just got a copy of the Fall/Winter 1985 Spiratone Photo & Vidio Accessory
Catalog (No. 852). The list price for the "Spiratone Panorama Head" (order
number 520950) is $18.95.

To get a copy of the catalog write:
	Spiratone
	135-06 Northern Blvd.,Flushing N.Y. 11354-4063

The cover says it cost $1.00 but I picked up my copy for free, so who knows?
