A friend of mine wants to get the bellows replaced on this camera. I haven't seen the camera so I asked him to send me pictures that I could post on UHH to see if the experts here might know who could do this.
Beautiful old timer. I need bellows for an 8"x10". Searched and found some awhile ago on eBay. Prices were in the $185> area. Also found on-line instructions on how to make your own. Lots of work.
Thank you Don, I didn’t even think to try eBay. I see there are replacement bellows for various camera brands, all from China, so a search of the sellers is the next step to find a fit for this camera.
I appreciate your suggestion!
Visit
http://www.sandehalynch.com/ and see if he has that size bellows in his product listings. If not, contact him by email and ask if he could make a bellows for you to the size needed for that camera. I ordered a new bellows for a Viking 6x9 folder and his workmanship is superb.

ON LYNCH'S WEBSITE YOU WILL FIND BELLOWS INFO UNDER "CAMERA WORK"
Thank you Sam and Timbuck, I will check that site out.
Nice photo's of a classic!
Check 4 measurements when looking for bellows: 1)The total length, either when stretched flat out, or the distance between front and back standards when the rack is fully extended.
2 and 3) The mounting size on the back and front standards. If these are different sizes the bellows will usually be tapered.
4) The pleat size. this doesn't usually need to match exactly, but you want to avoid having pleats that are so wide that they get into the lightpath.
