I have been asked by a friend of mine who recently purchased a Mahogany 8x10 Ebony camera that was missing the back. I've built several backs before and this will be a nice challenge. My question is to the group is this. Could someone with an 8x10 Ebony take some pictures for me showing how the springs attach to the ground glass frame. I am familiar with the traditional shackles that Deardorff uses and Kodak but from the pictures I've seen I can't tell how Hiromi does his on the Ebony.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. I wish this camera was mine as it is beautiful. It will be a joy to work on it.
Thanks.
