sent a question to nabell on it, have to wait for dynatect as i dont have time to do their pdf process of asking them..
still, i was expecting to have to tape the corners anyway. Its odd that my enlarger is just as old, and has no pin holes.

Just call Dynatect and ask customer service to talk to someone about camera bellows. They may have a CAD file for that bellows.
Enlargers don’t have their bellows “abused “ as much as cameras. I have a 5x7 enlarger that was made in 1944 with its original bellows and no pin holes, but does it really matter on an enlarger?
Liquid electrical tape.
Also pinholes in the corners often don't matter as the folds block light from going far. Depends on size and how much you extend them (longer lenses, closer focusing).
Been there...Ordered new bellows to my ICA Ideal 9x12 from China, can recommend. https://www.etonephoto.com/collectio...ra-accessories
Get a partial refund.
For an occasional single pinhole I've used the mixture of white PVA glue with a drop of dish washing liquid coloured black with ink succesfully.

Toyo cameras are superb but the original bellows are always full of pinholes, even old stock never opened NIB. Chinese replacement bellows are reasonable priced.
