That looks to be a 5X7 Ansco, based on two observations. On the 8X10 version, the read standard is somewhat wider than the front standard. On the one you pictured the front and rear standards appear...

From the front ring of my 13" knuckler: "Taylor-Hobson Cooke Portrait Anastigmat 13inch SeriesVI f5.6 No156800".
Any idea of the approximate year of manufacture?

It may not help you since these pictures are of the newer Sinar Copal shutter but this gentleman has a series of interior pictures of the shutter:

I'm an amateur machinist with limited skills (at least I own a lathe and a couple of mills. Maybe it is a stretch to claim to be any sort of machinist). A few weeks ago I saw a YouTube video on...
My findings based on a couple of M10X1.5mm bolts and a couple of 3/8"X16 bolts (limited sample in other words) - 3/8" bolts thread into M10X1.5mm nut, but the fit is pretty loose. Sinar upright cap...
Greg - Thanks so much for pointing out the one piece construction. Somehow that seems like doing it the hard way compared to making the round uprights separate pieces, but who am I to criticize the...
Thanks everyone for checking on the 3/8-16 thread size. At least I no longer wonder if I'm hallucinating. It occurs to me Sinar would have needed 3/8-16 taps on hand to tap the rail clamp for the...
Struan - I would much appreciate it if you can check the threads on your Norma and see what you think the size is. Part of my struggle is I don't have a metric micrometer so I have to measure in...
Can anyone measure the thread for the top of the Norma uprights? I've been working on this for awhile today and I'm not finding a good answer. What threads down into my uprights for the full 17mm of...
Another thing I see that makes me think 7X11 is the hole just below the opening for the lens board. This is right where the lens board tightening knob is on a 7X11. One of the side views shows what...
There is also a possibility this is a 7X11 Eastman, not an 8X10. This camera has two tabs at the top of the front standard to hold the front bed in the folded up position. The 8X10s I'm familiar with...
Ryan,
I think you should post again to the Cameras forum asking this as an alignment question, not Parts Wanted. Everyone loves a mystery!
To me it looks a bit like the whole front standard is...
Ryan - I hope you find someone with parts, but it may be difficult. I found this parts diagram for the front of a Master View:

Tony - You might contact Jamie Young and ask if he has any links to Panoram repair information.

Tony - You might post your question in the APUG Panoramic forum. Also if you do a search there you will find a few posts on Kodak Panorams. Or just go through the back forum pages; there aren't all...
There is one shown in the Norma catalog as "2055 Reducing-Adapter 8X10-18X24 to 5X7-13X18", but I don't know if Norma backs fit the newer Sinar P frames. I've always wondered about that if anyone...
On page 33 of this Korona catalog is shown the "Korona Commercial Camera" which seems to have more movements than the normal Korona models:

According to "Graphic Graflex Photography", 11th edition, the 3 1/4 X 4 1/4 Anniversary Speed takes a 3 1/4" X 3 1/4" lens board and the 4X5 Anni takes a 4"X4" board. The pre-Anniversary models take...
A few thoughts on that particular Artar on eBay. To my eye, the glass appears to be coated, but it may be worth contacting the seller for his opinion on whether or not it is. If you are looking for a...
I have an older version of the Sinar roll holder slider back for my Norma. I really haven't used it enough to have a strong opinion on it. It is handy to use, but a bit bulky. The weight isn't too...
I was curious about Sinar P and P2 production dates. I found this page:
https://prezi.com/poih-q713vtp/history-of-sinar-camera/
which gives 1970 as the first year for the P and 1984 as the...
The 1990 Helix of Chicago catalog has prices for the 4X5 Sinar P2 as $5,499 and the 8X10 P2 as $7990. I see only two 8X10 P2s under eBay Sold listings. One sold for $2084 including shipping and the...

That is great you have the control box and cable. You can test the shutter to be sure it is working properly. I don't know if the electronic shutters get sticky from lack of use like the mechanical...

I kept wondering about the weight of a newer Linhof Kardan 8X10. I found this page:
http://jafaphotography.com/linhof_810gt.htm
He gives the weight as 16.5 lbs (7.5 kgs) which isn't too bad...
Searching eBay, even with Worldwide location, I see only three 8X10 Linhofs. All are new enough that they use "modern" 8X10 sheet film holders.
If camera weight is an issue for you, you might so...
I meant to imply the 1964 "International Photo Technik" article on the Kardan Color meant the end of the original Color model. I should have actually said that instead of implying. I found an IPT,...
Bob Salomon - Do you know if all the Color 45s had red focusing knobs, or did the later Colors have white knobs like the Kardan Color 45s? I don't know where I got the idea there may have been white...
Jason - From what I can see in your picture, you have a Linhof 4X5 Color, not a Kardan Color. As far as I know, the red focusing knobs were only used on the Color and the Kardan Color had white...
And so now you obviously need to buy an Eastman 7X11 to go with the bits you have. ;) They show up on eBay from time to time, sometimes not correctly identified. The weird lens board is the best clue...
Another vote for 7X11 Eastman. I measured one of mine and it is 9 1/2" wide across the rear track, has 3 slots on the sides of the track, and a hole for the extension track key. See here:

According to Ken Hough from his Baby Deardorff page, "There were around 500 total made." Which doesn't answer how many survivors there are, but gives an upper limit.

I dug out a Series VII Kodak adapter ring to play with. For anyone not familiar with Series filters, they are filters without any threads on the metal ring surrounding the glass filter. They are...
I compared the strap and lugs on a 4X5 pre-Anniversary and a 4X5 wartime Anniversary. The height of the body is the same for both cameras (7 1/4 inches) and the straps and lugs for both are nearly...
Kodak made a number of sizes of "slip-on" or "push-on" adapter rings for Series filters (Tiffen and Ednalite also made these but Kodak are more common. All three makers made screw-on Series adapters...

While his interest is mainly Graflex, it looks like he may be knowledgeable on other military cameras.

One thing I just noticed looking at my two Speeds - on the Pacemaker, the bracket that carries the round cam is mounted at the very back of the short rear focusing bed track. The Anniversary has it...
Jim - I grabbed a stray 4X5 Anniversary that was easy to get to and the rangefinder arm arrangement looks pretty much like the one on the Pacemaker Speed. Both cameras have the rangefinder arm quite...
Yes, the rangefinder arm comes up against the rear of the bed brace. But not until the camera is focused (by the ground glass) to less than 3 feet. This is with a 135mm Optar lens. The closest focus...
