    Hi Lummer,
    try:
    photo-technique@orange.fr
    Serious service and good knowledge fro European brands.
    (Graflex is simpler... then swiss clocks !)
    Good luck.

    There is a rare Linhof version like that too. It would be an awesome camera.

    Why limit yourself? Use the Plaubel Pecoflex as a model. Or some versions of the Arca Swiss Reflex.

    These interesting devices consist of a mirror box with focal plane shutter and film holder mounted on a slider on a rail, a bellows, and a conventional view camera front standard, also on the rail. That is, a view camera with a box much like your AS Reflex replacing the rear standard's film holder. Seems a good use for your AS Reflex, which appears to be missing front standard, bellows, and focusing mechanism.

    I'm struggling with a similar monstrosity built around a 2x3 Graflex RB Ser. B and a 2x3 Cambo SC. Mine has vibration problems that I'm slowly solving.

    Good luck, have fun,

    Dan
