Arrived home from work and this was waiting for me. I had a feeling it may turn up today...
Since it's got too dark to take my own, this is one of the seller's images:
Not sure if I'll keep the lens and shutter. I don't really need either, and they are heavy - watch out they may end up in the classifieds! As for the camera it's in pretty good condition but I should have checked the seller images more closely; there are missing knobs and screws all over the place.
This weekend I hope to do as much as possible to get it working for me:
-Modify the original back to standard 5x7 holders
--add a U-shape of wood
--shape the wood for the steel spring edges
--cut the groove for the holder to lock into
-Find/buy knobs, bolts and screws to complete the camera
-Build a lensboard adapter from Contessa Nettel to FKD.
-Test!
Not sure how much I will do, but I hope it'll be done sharpish.
