Were can i get a foot for a miranda v750
Sorry, but you can't.
All Miranda branded products were exclusive to DSG (Dixons, Currys) and were the cheapest of the cheap. As such they are not designed to be repaired and spare parts are not available. Any Miranda products which failed during the manufacturers warranty and were returned to DSG for repair were invariably thrown away and replaced with DSG claiming a credit from the supplier.
This is not exclusive to Miranda, most cheap to medium priced brands of all similar products have the same policy. If you want tripods which will last for years with full spare parts support then you have to pay a lot more for the likes of Manfrotto, Gitzo, Velbon, Benbo, Slik and others but they're all only worth it for regular tripod users or for those for whom price isn't an issue.
Even if you could get the spare part, it would cost more than one of the tripods which the likes of Aldi and Lidl regularly sell in the UK for £10. The Aldi version comes with a carry bag, spare quick release plate, carry handle and strap and a comprehensive three year no quibble warranty. They're not on the current stock list, but come in every few months as one of their regular special deals.
If you don't want to replace your tripod, then the next best thing is to simply fashion a wooden plug to fit the end of the damaged leg and maybe fit a rubber foot on the end, like those sold for walking sticks or the the kind sold by larger DIY stores to fit under wooden chair legs.
I hope that my reply has been of assistance and that you can return the favour by rating my answer.

Quantaray Titan II-750
I just sent a message to Ritz/Wolfe Customer Service. Will let you know if I get a reply. BTW, I have a QSX (?) 9200MT that I carry in my car. That one is made for Quantaray by Sunpak. I wonder if the Titan II-750 was made by Sunpak.

One of the leg extension locking devices will not hold the leg down
Unfortunately, Quantaray is no longer in business, so there is no service department to go to in order to get something like that fixed. And replacements leg locks are not available. It sounds like you have a worn out screw or spring in your leg lock. You might be able to find a new tripod of a similar size and shape here if you can't find a replacement anywhere: www.itripod.comGive me a call if you have any questions.AmandaSpartan Photo Centerwww.tripodquickrelease.comwww.bogentripodparts.comwww.itripod.comwww.spartanphotocenter.com

I have a QS-TM and
Tripod mounts are standard size for most cameras, there are strictly speaking 2 sizes but it is unusual to find a modern camera with the wrong size; it should screw directly into the camera (assuming you have a "standard" mounting plate with the tripod!) If it is too large/small you need an adapter, 3/8" to 1/4" or vice versa, but that would be unusual.
Most 35mm camera bodies accept a 1/4" diameter, 20 thread-count screw

Film won't load on Vectis 300 MinoIta
The clue is in your descrition; Old.
If the mechanism has jammed, due to age or lack of use that causes tarnisg=hing on the contacts, the motor/mechanism will not load.
I would get it serviced at an aurgorised Minolta repair shop.
Contact Minolta for a list of authorised repairers.
