Repair of broken Ground glass and torn bellows

[Chris Hansen]

I recently discovered an 8x10 view camera in a friends attic. It has a broken gr ound glass and a 2'' rip in the bellows. The camera is fully operational with b oth rear and front rise and tilt.As I live clear up in the boonies what are my o ptions for repairs. Can I do any of it myself? Any advice would be appreciated. Chris

You can do it all yourself if you are handy. Tape the bellows and tape the grou nd glass(course, the tape on the ground glass will probably bug the heck out of you). Or, have a decent repair shot go over it and fix those problems. Mel Pier ce Camera in Hollywood does a good job and has some excellent craftsmen who can help.
