What the thread found

• A current Flyer dovetail plate with part number 601-7412 and list price around $350 USD can fit older Video SK rigs as a replacement for a lost cheeseplate
• An EFP dovetail plate may also be compatible with older Video SK equipment
• Custom machining of a replacement cheeseplate can take several days of work and result in significantly higher costs than purchasing a compatible aftermarket part

Depends on

• The compatibility claims are based on the specific Video SK model from the 1990s discussed in the thread
• No explicit confirmation that either dovetail plate is a perfect fit; original poster was still verifying compatibility
• Pricing information is from 2010 and may not reflect current costs
