I saw one on Ebay, but I was too late and it had sold. But it was sweet! Bright red leather. Does anyone know where these might be purchased?

McCherry,
You can order a red, or black, one here:ecbuyonline. Great service, Rudy is a real pleasure to deal with, and the bellows is quite nice.
I got one for a Sinar and it's much more flexible than the original Sinar bellows.
You'll also need to order a set of frames from Calumet. Be careful when you glue the bellows to the frames, I initially mucked mine up but was able to fix the problem. Pliobond seems to be the most recommended adhesive.

I can't make any sense out of the "ecbuyonline" site. There doesn't seem to be an area that has bellows listed.
You can email Rudy and he'll get right back to you. Or search for him on ebay.
The gluing thing is a big pain, but I don't think that Cambo ever made a red bellows.
There have been two or three threads regarding bellow(es) (belli?) lately with some others options discussed.

It seems that people do not get the mounting of the frames. Recently customers have been sending Rudys bellows to me to mount. I use Ploibond glue. It is a new formulation and flashes off differently than the "old" glue. You have to work quickly. Plan the cuts to make the frames fit carefully and you should not have problems. Or send him the frames.

Hi,
I'm in the process of getting a 30" extended bellows from Rudy at ecbuyonline. That's not a problem. The problem is: I can't find anyone at Calumet that knows where I can order a set of bellow frames for my Cambo SC2.
Can you be more specific, if you know which Calumet site I can order these from.? I've put out a wanted ad here to see if I can get someone's old beat up bellows so I can salvage the frames.
