We are not here to help newbies sell. We are enthusiasts that want people to join this forum and use these cameras.Quote:

Go read our rules. We do enforce them.
Good luck and welcome!
Let's give Syclone a friendlier welcome. He started a reasonable thread, with photo, asking for help in identifying a camera that looked somewhat like an early Deardorf (unfortunately in the wrong place, the LF Image Sharing forum rather than the more appropriate Cameras & Equipment forum, but he's new). He hasn't said anything about using this forum to sell cameras. I imagine that anyone using Google to find a place to ask questions about old LF cameras might end up here. So welcome Syclone, and if you actually use LF cameras, we will be interested in seeing your work,
^^^ Agree ^^^
Welcome to APUG, syclone.:)
Sorry, I didn't see his photo. Perhaps the welcome is late?Quote:

He did post a couple pics of a beautiful camera, I'm curious as to how it's origin might be narrowed down a little. I thought 'British' when I saw it, but not from any of the big names.
Welcome, I guess. So you're only here to gather information, but then sell on ebay to the highest bidder? No one works for free (or most smart people don't), so why don't you give first chance to some of the cameras to members here, that are feeding you all the information? I.E. sell some of them to us here, for a good price?

In the meantime, get out your good metric and American steel rule so that you can post accurate dimensions. Even measuring things such as corner fasteners can help.
(Your earlier picture is definitely not even close to a Deardorff, but learning is a cumulative thing.)
