    Tips for removing bellows?

    Hey,

    The GF would like me to strip/restore her camera.

    It's a B+J Click image for larger version.

    Any tips for removing the bellows from the front + rear? e.g. use a hair dryer, etc.

    It doesn't look like they've ever been removed/reattached--orig glue.

    Thanks.

    I'd strip for her first... then I'd restore her camera. A hair dryer shouldn't be necessary except after a shower. I'll not post further innuendo since some would consider it in poor taste.

    I'm an ex-VP for B&J and actually own an 8x10 camera like yours only it is in natural wood finish, they made them both ways. Tonight I'll check and see what I can find about the bellows attachment.
