Attachment tripod screw size in Sokkisha TS20

Hi, I've just bought an old Sokkisha TS20 theodolite, and I realize that the attachment screw size is not the usual 5/8", but much bigger, somewhere around 1 3/8" (I measured about 34 mm). Does anybody know if there's a tripod with that size of screw, or if adapters from 5/8" to 1 3/8" exist?Thanks to everyone.Attached I put 2 pictures.Mirko

Contract Work Heavy Overtime

When I first started Land Surveying I would get offers to work on these massive jobs that offered outrageous overtime. I can't seem to find them anymore.I'm an extremely well rounded crew chief that knows the office and field from boundary surveys to laser scanning and construction layout.I'm at a really good company right now, but I'm looking for a year or two of crazy paychecks to get my wife's business off the ground. Does anyone know who's doing things like this right now?
