Show off your Large Format camera!

Wonderful camera, nice find. What format ?

That TP shutter needs a new cord, I've found that the thin cord sold in the UK for window blinds is perfect, but you need to disassemble the shutter to fit it. I've just bought another two TP shutters to restore

Cheers Ian - format is 13 x 18cm which I'm keen to use but I've adapted a 5x4 back to fit which gives me more printing options at the moment. I picked up a couple of holders from ebay which just fit and I'll be using paper negs for now.
The shutter needs a new cord? I see! I've been turning the key on the top left to open the shutter and using a lens cap. The shutter works ok, don't know about the speeds. It is a wonderful camera and whilst I know it's not about the equipment there is something about using a camera like this - it just seems to feel good.

The cord turns the key to cock the shutter. Then the tension spring on the right controls the actual shutter speeds. There was an optional speed dial, which you don't have (would have been bottom right) which ran from 1/15th to 1/90th.

Without the dial then it depends how many turns of the tensioner.5, 10, 15. Also it will work on T (Time) or Instantaneous, and they work well.

It has a speed dial at bottom right - as you say goes from 1/15 to 1/90 - only just visible on the first picture.

I should have spotted it there I'd expected to see the edge in the second image.

Hopefully that didn't occur directly after this photo was taken.
