If hardener was used on your plates, Pec-12 might be the solution.
There has been some discussion of using Artograph light boxes as a cheap alternative light source.

Were did you get the Robot screwmount to Fuji adapter?
I used a scrap sheet of 1/8" Lexan, cut to twice the required length to cover the glass and frame.
Took note of the center line and used a hair dryer to heat said center line and gently folded the...
Channeling the late Norm Macdonald, the culprit is either O J Simpson or Frank Stallone.
I've heard good things about Fastenal. They'll ship from store to store anywhere in the country at a good rate.
As with any shipper, make sure everything is well-packed and pray for a good result....
I bought an 8X10 B&J Commercial model last year on ebay. The seller, who is not a camera guy did a remarkable job of protecting the camera by cutting a thick foam mattress topper to isolate the...
Whatever happened to the art of crafting these cameras out of old-growth natural cherry wood?
These newer creations look like they were dipped in red dye #2.
Make it more attractive?
If not that, add a few holes and give it an ocarina function.

The extra bellows length on a 2" shorter rail accounts for swings, tilts, etc.
This has been my first useful contribution to this wonderful site.
Gerstner & Sons sell split rivets as used on their wooden tool chests.
Kinda expensive at five for $10-$12:

I was lucky to get three original plate holders with film sheaths with the camera.
Indeed, they are wider than standard 5X7 holders.
You could glue strips of wood on both sides for a tighter fit.
I have a similar camera with the original legs.
Are your lensboards secured by pushing up into the spring-loaded channel similar to a Graflex SLR?
Closest I could find in searching was an MSK...
Any chance your racks are pinned on with small nails?
You'll have to look closely.
From one of the comments at the HD site:
"The problem is the light from the LED. The colors are wrong. It's not 3000K/4000K/5000K like they say. Not even close. It's more like a very, very yellow...
Every hobbyist/craftsman should have a pallet jack.
I say she's more worthy of an award than our recent Medal of Freedom winner.
The guys at Practical Machinist can be more than a tad prickly.

Artograph LX series have adjustable color temperature: https://www.artograph.com/light-boxes/
I've been using one for a few years and love it.
I found another one last week, new in box at a thrift store for $2.
Unicolor Jingle Bell is the one I use for all my film developing.
No electricity required... Dead simple and paraphrasing the words of Monty Python, it's a machine that goes BING!
IIRC the later Speed Graphics had the grooved side of the fresnel facing the ground glass.
You will need the 4X5 mixing chamber.
I have a 25' metal box truck container which I use as a workshop. It has a wooden floor which is incredibly solid with plywood interior walls but little insulation. To keep it a bit cooler in the...
Things may get better in 2020. :)
>Isn't it great to have people offer help as Kenneth did after I looked at his YouTube video about a Robot Royal and responded in the comments section.<
Lot of good videos there.
Thanks for the...
<I have found a video that shows how to get into the innards of a Robot Star 2 that is very similar, so I will give it a try when I have the time>
Where did you find the video?
Best wishes,

Similar to an ICA Palmos. Perhaps a newer tricked-out iteration by Zeiss-Ikon?
The chromed trim and bellows reminds me of a Zeiss product.
But the Ross lens says no way.
A movable adapter coupled to a mirrorless compact digital body would give you more bellows draw to play with.
I use one of those underwear hangers as well. Very compact and the plastic clips grip fine.
The OP's serial number is 209850.
Resurrecting an old thread I just bought an 8X10 6.3 Radar lens not received yet. Hopefully this isn't a re-sell by the OP but a second example of this obvious rarity. :)

That really is a great idea.
I'm referring to the post-war Micro Press with the rangefinder on the top. It uses standard Pacemaker boards.
My old MPP Micro Press uses Graflex Pacemaker boards.
