I'm trying to detach the knob in the pictures above. I started to just unscrew it, but it's becoming very difficult and I didn't want to force anything. How can I remove this...
Success! Thank you everyone. What was life like before a Dremel? :)
I had no idea there were so many different Dremels... 3000 series, 4000 series, 7700 series... Any recommendations? It's obviously nothing I've needed in the past, so one that would get me through...
To replace the fastener I would accept a compromise. I just want to hold it in place. Original look would be great, but not necessary.
Hi Ron.
Yes, it's an Agfa 5x7. You must be (painfully) familiar to recognize it :) So do you recommend drilling it out as others have mentioned?
Ugh... Not easy to get at. I'm not familiar with the finer points of drilling out something like this. How big should the bit be? How deep do I need to drill?
I'm not sure how to remove this hardware. Any help would be appreciated.

Steve, that's just what I did. SK Grimes has a very reasonable price.
Thanks.
It does sound like the shutter aperture scale was originally calibrated for a different FL. An easier option would be to photograph the scale of a similar 7½" Paragon, I think I have one somewhere...
I have an Ilex Paragon Anastigmat 7.5" f4.5 in a No. 3 X Universal shutter. The lens came with a Meridian 4x5B that I purchased. The f-stops have been marked over (ugh). I'm not sure if this is the...
I'm taking the Albumen printing class at the Center for Alternative Processes this weekend, so MV Labs seems a perfect fit. Thanks.
I'll be staying in Manhattan next week. Can anyone recommend a place where I can get 120 B&W film developed while I'm there?
thanks,
bob k.
Thank you.
Traveling to NY City this summer to see friends and take Albumen workshop at Center for Alternative Processes. Anyone stay at Pod 39 Hotel? Any other hotel recommendations?

Thank you for the info everyone.
Thank you Roger. Have you ever used this lens?
Unable to find much info on this lens. Even tried Vade Mecum. Anyone using this lens? Elements/Groups?
thank you,

Hi Jan,
Ed Sawyer was kind enough to put the user manual on his web site: http://edsawyer.com/lenstests/
I don't have the repair manual. You might want to try Craig Camera:...
I live in Gainesville, and I'm interested.
Thank you Tim.

Terrific! Thank you!
Tim, I'm interested in people, places and things :) Anything that grabs my eye.
Thanks for the suggestions everyone.
Going to see a friend in May for a weekend in Springfield MO. Any recommendations for picture taking opportunities. It will be my first time there.

Stunning!
Hi Ed,
Send me your email address in a private message and I'll send you the file.

I recently purchased an original Meridian 45B manual from Craig Camera. I believe it was the last manual they had for the 45B. It's in a fragile state so I took it to a printer and had a copy of...
Thank you Ivan and Jim.
Thank you!
Does anyone have a picture and/or measurements for a Meridian 45B lens board? S.K. Grimes is mounting a lens for me, and the camera is out for CLA.
thank you,

Beautiful!
The pieces are separated! I went to a furniture refinisher. He said it looked like wood glue, and I should alternate between spraying a little water on it and working it back and forth. I soaked a...
Sounds good.
I understand. It's worth a try.
Now that's interesting. And once again, I think I can handle that.
Okay. How long will it take to see if it's working? A ballpark figure.
Randy, it's out of square enough that i'm unable to tilt the lens.
The hot paper towels sounds like an idea I can handle (famous last words).
I'm putting this off until tomorrow. Perhaps I'll...
I don't think it was the one you saw on eBay, but I may be wrong. Attaching a picture.

You'er the second person to recommend that. Thank you John.
The front standard on my 'new' 5x7 is not square. I can see where someone put so much glue on the bottom of one side that it is not flush against the cross piece. Not being sure what type of glue was...
