I will be restoring a commercial 8X10 aluminum camera.
Its an incredible design, with so much thought put into it, albeit somewhat optimistic as to what it would do in the end (IE screws threaded directly onto thin aluminum frames small locking nuts for massive moving parts etc.), though that said, for a nearly 80 year old camera it looks like it has survived fairly well. Even the original bellows is not in bad shape, only a few pin holes (but will be replaced with new anyways).
My 2 main questions here are:
1. Would the wooden extension bed fit the metal camera or are they completely different?
2. Would the tripod sliding block from a wooden camera fit the metal camera?
Any other notes or pointers welcome.
Will post photos as this progresses.
