  1. Re: Need some assistance in taking out scratches in brass....

    You're always going to have scratches; it's a fact of polishing something. However, you can minimize them by using progressively finer grits, whether it be sandpaper, emery cloth, or a liquid/paste...

    Re: Indicating when an item has sold

    Leigh, the mods manage their own time; they can choose to modify a post to show the item has sold if requested by the seller, or they can simply tell the OP to post a "Sold" message in the thread, as...

    Re: Indicating when an item has sold

    I've sold just one item, the Toyo 810G (well, I sold the tripod from the Korona camera, but the camera is still for sale if someone ever looks back that far in the posts). If you took the time to...

    Re: Indicating when an item has sold

    Was there an indication at that time that it would be abused, or just your impression? If there's no evidence of abuse, why not allow it to see what happens? You can always disable it again if it...

    Indicating when an item has sold

    Given that the previous post was closed because a few people chose to go - and stay - off-topic, let me point out a simple fact: this forum already uses one means to indicate activity in a post. ...
  6. Re: Mthod(s) to delete FS ads when the item(s) sell

    So, Don, you're able to discern all of my interests in this forum, the categories I choose to follow closely, based solely on what I've posted? Really?

    BTW, my comment was not a complaint, but a...
  7. Re: Mthod(s) to delete FS ads when the item(s) sell

    Then you've missed the point completely, Hank. Do people wish to read through several - sometimes pages - of posts before reaching the one that says, "Item(s) sold." I don't think so. I have...
  8. Re: Mthod(s) to delete FS ads when the item(s) sell

    "Well figured out" doesn't imply it's the optimal method of doing things, Henry, and it's rather insulting to refer to my request as a "whim". It's a legitimate issue and appears to have some merit,...
  9. Mthod(s) to delete FS ads when the item(s) sell

    Seems there's no way readily obvious method to delete an ad once the item sells. Bugs me to see something of interest, read through a page or two of posts, only to find the item(s) have sold.

    I...
  10. Re: Ideas for a lens for an interesting vintage Seneca 8x10

    I haven't shot it yet. I refinished it a few months back, removing the old, cracked & crazed varnish. This altered the tolerances slightly, so things are a bit loose. I want to replace all the...
  11. Re: Does use of WD-40 to loosen "frozen" brass harm glass in old brass lens?

    WD-40 will attract dirt and grime, so while you may "unstick" it in the short-term, it will gunk up in the long-term, not to mention all the unknown side-effects mentioned above. Alcohol sprayed...
  12. Re: Ideas for a lens for an interesting vintage Seneca 8x10

    I took a closer look, and the shutter is a Wollensak Optimo No. 3, with a Wollensak f4.5/7" lens. Here's a shot of it:

    70126

    As noted previously, it fires crisply; no slop when it lets go. ...

    Thanks for the leads!
  14. Ideas for a lens for an interesting vintage Seneca 8x10

    I have a rather interesting vintage Seneca 8x10 camera - have a look below:

    As you can see, the Rise/Fall and Shift...
