Buying Crater RIGHT orbital Only

[Username Hidden]

Thanks for the reply. The back story is not a good one….wanted to change lenses. Inserted tiny flat head screwdriver between the posts on the orbital and twisted flathead as I have usually done on Mars/Craters to get the c-clip loosened and one of the mf’in posts broke off. Not sure if there was a stress crack or what but it’s effing titanium. Shouldn’t have broken off like that. I don’t see a viable way to repair it either.

I guess if I can’t find an orbital I’ll end up having to try and part this one out

This ever happen to anyone else??

Good luck on the searching, I have a pair of Mars I've been trying to restore for years looking for a right orbital.
