Looking for someone who makes Busch Pressman boards

With some cooler, drier air, I've finally been able to do the last setup (tab-hole drilling), so they're technically available. PM me for info, and yes, I know, further posting regarding sales should go in the correct area.

The lack of the ability to do a final inspection by mounting the board in a camera is bugging me (I wasn’t planning on making any more boards and sold the camera).

Does anyone happen to have a Busch Pressman Model D front standard (with retaining pin) laying around that I could borrow for a while?

I'd be happy to test one and pay for it, but I'd rather not send you the camera...

Fr. Mark, PM sent, check your inbox.

The two you sent me fit perfectly, for what that's worth.

Lens board received. Fit is snug but will be fine with lens installed. The original lens board has two layers of metal and the tab is bent from the second one. This increases stiffness and may improve the light trap but I'm not sure it is needed, I doubt that it will be an issue and it would make the lens boards harder to make. Now I need to find a better lens and shutter for my Pressman D! Am thinking a 150 in a modern Copal shutter. :-)
