    Question Oldie but not a poster needs bellows

    Hi all, I've been a member for a few years but seldom posted. I have a very old Anthony Climax Imperial Camera (see it in the Marder book, p. 233). The wood is beautiful and all the brass fittings work well, but the 10 X 10 square bellows is shot. Beyond repair, but the frame is still there as a model. I've never made a bellows, and don't have time to experiment. Is there anyone or any company left who still makes bellows?

    Here you go: http://www.custombellows.co.uk/

    They will soon be preparing a bellows for me. I have heard nothing but positive reviews about them.

    Rudy is the guy on ebay "Ecbuyonline2008" who does a nice job and has a pretty quick turnaround. Tell him I sent you.

    Eat enough refried beans and you'll become a set of bellows. Don't ask how I know
