My Oldest Piece of Equipment Retires

My trusty Manfrotto tripod, bought at PJ's Camera for $129 in January 1989, was retired last week when I received my new Manfrotto 190CXPRO Carbon Fibre tripod. The original tripod had fasteners on the legs that broke regularly. It was also pretty heavy, though that never stopped me from lugging it everywhere from Maine, to England, to Tuscany over the past nineteen years! This new carbon fibre tripod is very light, though my Kaiser ball head adds a couple pounds. Not sure what I'll do with my old tripod- any offers?
