Premium Members brooksrobinson Posted August 20, 2014 Premium Members Report Share Posted August 20, 2014 One of the handwheels on my Arrihead 1 was recently damaged on the feature I just wrapped. One of the little spuds you hold with your fingers while turning the wheels was bent/damaged, and it now doesn't rotate smoothly (again, just the spud, not the handwheel itself). Production will be paying for a new one, but whoever is in charge of this department at Arri in Germany is out of the office until September. While I can wait, I was wondering if there was anywhere else I should be looking to find a replacement (even a used one). I've attached a photo since my description was underwhelming. Thanks in advance. Brooks Robinson Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Members James Baldanza SOC Posted August 20, 2014 Premium Members Report Share Posted August 20, 2014 http://www.ebay.com/itm/271575629487 Sorry just notice that doesn't include the part you need. It's the complete hand wheel, might be a good idea to have a spare. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Members brooksrobinson Posted August 20, 2014 Author Premium Members Report Share Posted August 20, 2014 Thanks James. I did buy the handwheel you linked on Ebay as a backup, but I still need a new/used thumb knob (or two) for the pan/tilt wheel to replace the damaged one. Thanks for any assistance.

Premium Members Lawrence Karman Posted August 21, 2014 Premium Members Report Share Posted August 21, 2014 $$$. See if you can reach one of the head service techs at Otto's or Clairmont and maybe they have some spare parts to sell.

Premium Members Sanjay Sami Posted August 23, 2014 Premium Members Report Share Posted August 23, 2014 Try Arri Rental in Munich. Not sure if they will sell, but they stock a lot of used parts that are in good condition. We had a similar issue on an Arrihead 2 that we had rented out of Berlin when one of the wheels was dropped, and they shipped out a spare crank handle the same day. It was used, but in good condition. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
