    Help needed with Asakuma King camera

    A few days ago I won an auction for several 'junk' items on Yahoo, the largest auction site here in Japan. I was really only interested in obtaining two film backs which fit my Wista 45, but the package also included an Asanuma King camera. Apart from heavily tarnished metal on the outside, the body and bellows appear to be in good condition and all movements work. The size of the ground glass screen is 8.25x6.5 inches, which I believe means the camera is a full plate. Unfortunately, there's no film holder or lens board and I would really welcome any information about the type of holder and lens board that would fit the camera. If it would help I could upload shots of the camera.

    I am very new to LF and know little or nothing about any camera except my Wista. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks.

    Sorry, the title should read 'Asanuma King'.
