Thanks very much for the replies.
Dan, after I posted I continued my search for data, and I did blunder upon the links you provided. I'm glad they're documented on this thread, so thanks very...
I recently bought a large box of lens elements, probably removed from their shutters so the shutters could be used for something else. (A sure sign of a serious case of GAS)
Among the chaos, I've...
Some years ago I used to be able to buy blackout cloth from Freestyle Photo. Sad to say, they had to stop carrying it when the minimum order was changed to a container load -- you know, those...
Another way to go would be to see if it's possible to remove the 4x5 back from the larger flat piece of metal. It looks like a Toyo 4x5 back to me.
Then, if you're handy and have a saber saw, you...
Acid free paper would work too, in case you find the transparent sleeves unsuitable for any reason.
Just had a "d'oh!" moment. You're gonna need to find positive photo paper; otherwise you'll get paper negatives. But you probably already knew that.
Speaking of rubylith, I'm surprise that you...
The only modern equivalent I can recall is from the late 1970s to early 1980s when I first started working as a typesetter for a magazine. In a small empty office space we had a daylight stat...
What kind of tune up does it need? Have you had it awhile and started having problems or something?
If it's new to you and the speeds are off, often you can take the pneumatic tube out and clean...
The old adhesive was probably window caulking compound. I used to think it was paint, but the caulking compound makes sense. Dries well but remains flexible, impervious to elements. Just use a very...
A few years ago I had to make some leaf springs for a camera back. On the old cameramakers group there was quite a bit of discussion on this topic. And there, I learned that if you hammer on brass,...
Regarding springs: I went to Home Depot and bought a brass kick plate -- the metal piece that goes at the bottoms of doors, you see them around heavily traveled areas. The metal, if I recall, is...
I think I need to correct and clarify both my post and the web page.
Forum guidelines prohibit me from "doing commerce" here, and I respect that and wish to abide by it. So I'll limit my reply to...

My name is Michael Hendrickson, and I've been making bellows for large format cameras since about 1998, for my own use as a serious amateur. I...
Why not just leave the camera open with the bellows extended for a few days to see if some of this adhesive stuff just dries up. I'm a little bit confused though when you say that the problem is...
First thing I'd do is study the material that the bellows covering material is made of. Does it seem to be the original vinyl material?
You could take some warm water and dab a little bit onto the...
