I got this setup used and need an additional lensboard. Beasides buying one new from Calumet, what board would I buy? I see a number of them on KEH and can't figure out which is right. Can someone save me $40? Looking for Copal 0.

Okay, figured out the hole size numbers but not which style board.
I believe any full sized Cambo board fits
The Cadet uses the same lens boards as the Cambo SC series and its variants (including the Legend) and the Calumet 45 series (including the 45N, 45NX, and the current 45NXII). KEH seems to describe these boards as "Cambo"--but all the Calumet-branded lens boards that KEH has currently are for the older CC-400-series cameras. KEH distinguishes those by including "(4x4)" in the description. Those will NOT fit--they are much smaller. You can tell in their picture despite the lack of a scale: The Cambo-style boards have two notches in the top for the board lock.
Rick "noting that the Super Cambo (SC) was the first camera to standardize these boards" Denney
The cadet has it's very own lens board that DOESN'T work with any other calumet or cambo. I have the regular and the wide angle version of this camera and feel they are under rated. Go to Calumet's website and find the boards new for a decent price, but don't buy them until you call them as Calumet has the wrong photo in their listing!!! I know it seems strange, but the lensboard they show is the 6x6 ish size for cambo and cadet boards are smaller! The cameras are simple and lightweight, lots of movement, and if you damage them, you won't be out a 1000$.
