Seattle area Birdchatters,

I need your advise on where to have a repair done on my joystick
type Bogen head of my tripod. It snapped in two pieces, which it might
be possible to weld back together if someone out there knows what
material this head is made of at its narrowest point (almost at the point
where the head joins the tripod) and if someone knows who would do this
kind of repair (it's a year beyond warranty).
Thanks,
