Hey,

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

It's a B+J 72721.

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.

The 5x7 should be mounted the same ? As far as removing the bellows ?
