What the thread found

• Anton Bauer conversion for Master Series rigs can be accomplished by purchasing a gold mount plate and having a custom adapter plate fabricated to attach it to the rig
• Tiffen previously offered snap-on conversion adapters but does not keep them in stock and quoted pricing around 665 dollars with multi-week lead times
• The conversion requires either a machine shop to fabricate a custom mounting plate or purchasing a pre-made gold mount and adapter from Anton Bauer directly
• Switching to Anton Bauer batteries is advantageous when Master batteries are degrading or when Anton Bauer battery access is more readily available than Master battery recelling services
• The conversion eliminates the need for a 24V converter when switching from Master to Anton Bauer system

Depends on

• Custom fabrication of mounting plates requires access to machine shop services
• Specific pin configuration information on Master sled was requested but not clearly documented in thread responses
• Pricing and availability information dates from 2005 and may not reflect current market conditions
• No detailed technical specifications or wiring diagrams were provided in the discussion
