If you look at the sides they are reversible and there is a curved and a straight side to them. It took me about 10 years to figure that out.

Wondering why you are not able to use to develop glass plates?

Curious to know what the problem was with the 3880 printer. I had a 3800 printer that leaked black ink, but maybe could have been saved if I changed out the cartridge. It also had some blocked...
Wouldn't the bellows to your camera provide extension? Also 62mm was not a standard used by USA makers back in the day.
Maybe if you show some close-up photos of what your having problems with we can help you?

It is often best to stop the lens down some in aperture so you don't blind yourself.
small bulldog clips strung on a line/wire also work fine
237979 Kind of cool looking patterns! Didn't show up in cyanotype print. Pictorico negative used.
I think the rear frame is also attached by screws. You may also have to scrape out some filler.
what type of brush are you using?

Consider LED safelight instead. Bright and doesn't need warm-up time and less likely to fog paper.

I used black acrylic paint inside the bellows to block the pinholes. Takes a long time to dry.

You can make a knob out of a acorn nut glued into a wooden knob.

If the ring is stiff to turn you can take it apart and clean and lubricate it yourself.

Okay, I looked it up. Cheapest would be UPS Expedited 57.87 plus 13.50 for Shipcover insurance from a site called Pirateship.com. Which by the way has deep discounts on domestic UPS and USPS also....
What is the weight and size of the package?
Thanks! I guess I should try to find the lenses.

digging through some junk I found this barrel, thinking it might be part of a projector lens?

I'm guessing you have to unscrew the threaded lens holder ring?
You can bend the spring to make it stronger.

I converted my mountain bike by adding a geared rear hub motor. Not too difficult. I just bought parts from other people and assembled it myself. There is a forum called Endless Sphere with info.
One note is that the registration distance of the ground glass (T distance on film holder) varied a lot for different plate/film cameras of that era. I've seen cameras where the ground glass was...
Uhaul does have "wardrobe" boxes, lamp boxes and sports utility in different sizes.
Normal for "Studio" shutter.
The lens is really 2 lenses in one. 150mm or 265mm. It is called a convertible lens. With both front and back elements it is 150mm f5.6, with one element removed (I think the front?) it is 265mm f12,...
You could make your own tool out of a quarter and a piece of wood.
I have a lot of used screws if needed.

You can request a US Post Office money order and cash it at the post office before mailing your equipment.

I would suggest using a little stronger adjustable spanner and using some leverage if you need to.
There is a stationary finger that jams/locks the pinion when in the "outward" position.207569
Yes, I have a stock Tachihara combo screen. Their instructions do not make sense to me.
I would go back to your original fresnel screen and ground glass parts, or source new old stock replacements.
What you call the matte surface should face towards the lens, thus the thickness is not of consequence.
yes, critical. just cut off the ground glass corners so the ground glass sits correctly.
1897 water tower. There are many water towers still in our town. Not in use for water, but some have been converted to apartments or artist studios etc. Here is a HABS photo of this one:...
