I am relieved. I was afraid that a camera that only needed bellows and a few screws was going to be dismembered.

Baci in the last decade of the previous century, I picked up a 2D at the old Houston Camera Show for well below $300. I disassembled all the hardware and refinished the wod without stripping it. Left the hardware as-is and put it all back. Yes I have priced 2D parts and I am always surprised to see how much they part-out for. I am looking for a bargai- priced extension rail (an old guy dreaming).

Hope this project works out well for you. Keep us informed.
