This is the top of a Slik 500G tripod I've had for 20 years or more and the head is broken. I don't know what kind of mount I need. The Bogen - Manfrotto 3025 3D Junior Head looks good, but it says it the 'connect to tripod' is "3/8"-16" while the Slik SH-704E Compact & Light 3-Way Pan Tripod Head with Quick Release says "1/4-20". Since I see nothing resembling a thread on mine, I take it neither will work.
The JTL TH-33 Three Way Pan Tilt Head with Quick Release doesn't say anything about a thread, and appears to be a clamp-on type, but I can't really tell if it's the right type for this mount:

The old head said 'Slik 38' on it but the new version doesn't look sturdy enough for a heavy lens, so does anyone know what brand or type might fit? Thanks for any suggestions.
