Please measure your 11x14 Deardorff 'T' distance

Randy, it sounds like there should be a Fresnel lens in there, just about the right spacing for one.

This is an ancient Deardorff Studio 11x14. I was not aware they used fresnel.

This one could be as old as 1930's.

Yep, let's say I am fixing the back T dim first.

But if I already had a flock of holders, I would conform the back to them.

Chicken and egg story.

Wouldn't you rather wait until you have the holders and do right by them instead of doing something wrong now and having to re-do it later?

Not a problem, same guy is doing it all. I am no longer worried about this.

Now I am dealing with new bellows, which is also an almost done deal.

I see you are new here, welcome!

Does that mean you found your holders? What did you end up with? None of my business just wondering.
