Its a real hoot, pretty easy, quick and fun. The Varnishing part is a little bit on the not so fun part only because it really changes what seems to be a perfect shot. It darkens the negative substantiallyOriginally Posted by Steven Tribe

Didn't realise how good glass plates look (off to look for more images) The end of film might be a good thing...
Got a PM from someone curious about my camera so I figured I would pull up a silly lil video I made a couple years ago after word got around and everyone wanted their picture taken! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mb0Au...feature=relmfu I had completely forgot to update this thread
I'm finishing up getting my No. 7 up-and-running. In my case, it's more a thorough cleaning and tightening everything up, along with a bellows replacement. Even though my restoration isn't as extreme, I really enjoyed reading through this thread. Thanks for posting it!

I have a Century that is similar with no back. I will be mounting a modern 8x10 slider to it. I bought the camera here last year. I cannot make the focus knob work as I think it should. It is exactly as the this post.

I believe you loosen that central large knob and slide the back to close focus, then tighten it down, then the gears under the knob allow a back and forth movement to fine focus.
Mine won't fine focus, it's either too tight or too loose. It may be missing a part, as the seller had worked on the camera. I have tried a few things and was about to post about it.

Mine's not like that. The middle vertical knob just locks the movement. The knobs on the side move the standard forward and back. There's no special "fine focus" adjustment.

I am thinking of adding an Acme 5 start focus thread. This one is not so nice at the moment. I can 'hide' the screw next to the center frame.
