I recently acquired an 8x20 Korona with a bed extension that was hand made. It appears that the rack chosen for the bed extension does not match the camera rack as nicely as I would like it to. Does anyone know of a place where I could obtain a 44 pitch rack that I could use on this bed extension?
Richard Ritter has also been looking for this rack for some time and I felt that a query to this venue may illicit a favorable response.
Thanks in advance.

Have you tried Boston Gear? They're probably your best bet.
Failing that, I wonder if you could cast one in Epoxy resin from the existing? (if that sounds crazy, I may still be suffering ill effects of too much epoxy from my sink-building a couple years ago)
Good luck.

I'd second Boston Gear as the best bet. You might also give Midwest Photo Exchange a call. They may have a spare Korona extension bed laying around. Also, glennview.com may have one.
Have you considered changing the pinion gear on the camera and to match a more standard modern rack?

Hi there,
You could try Small Parts

But they have 48 pitch not 44 pitch. It may be easier to change to the 48 gears.

Michael,
I have an 8x20 Korona that I've converted to use on a SInar base so I don't need the extension rack. If you wish to contact me off the forum I would be happy to speak with you about this.
Cheers,
David
