    I finally got around to making some negatives with that Anthony lens. Here is a sepia toned print on Ilford Warmtone:

    This thread had many, many pictures. Wonder where the went? Here are some pictures of the camera before restoration. Right after restoration with a Symmar-S 210, and recently with a 300mm and an Anthony Brass lens.

    And to think that I waited 10 years to see these photos. Did you make the rail/base, or you purchased it? Also, did you get the extension? I have one which, I restored last year, but does not have the extension. The bases are special, they have double railing, one for the front standard and one for the tripod block.

    The re-loaded photographs are in alphabetical order by file name on my computer. So they will not match the text of the tread.

    The rail was repaired. I don't have the extension. The bellows were made from scratch.

    Excellent work, ic-racer. Someday perhaps you can tell us how/if you removed and replaced the pivots for rear tilt.

    I have a Century 1 with the round badge. It is otherwise the same as yours, correct?

    IC,
    Thank you for adding in the photos to this great thread for those of us late-comers. You should be very proud of the work you have done. It is gorgeous!
