Big help thanks Roger, I thought mine as an early 20's but I am not sure there is any way of positively knowing.

I love finding makers reference marks this time on the bellows.

So time to get around maybe the biggest problem with this camera. The shelf was missing and the rails were bolted directly to the hinges sadly, to compound the "fix" they have just chopped bolt into the rail. Infuriates me really but I guess it served his purpose. Anyway I have been thinking of patching with some mahogany but it will always be obvious especially as mahogany is not a common species here in Oz.... so I was thinking of an old adage.... "If you stuff up put a spotlight on it and call it a feature" My thinking was to remove the damaged part of the wood and let a brass strip say 4" (100mm) long into the rail and screwed down through the top then round off the edges to shape it the same as the timber. My inlaying skills are pretty good so that shouldn't be a problem and I think it will match all the other brass pretty well as well as strengthening the weaked "butchered" mahogany (or cherry ... even harder to find here).

Funny, but I did not because I did mine before the Web proliferated.Originally Posted by mikl
How tragic. I know from experience that withdrawal is difficult. Ducati in my case.I have a passion for Italian motorcycles

There are more than a few bikers here. Rode my legal muffled XLH a lot this week.

Ahh olden days Jac. Those 2 are long gone. The red one is a 75 900 and the black is a 78, last one I sold was my 74 GT, loved that bike.
I had a 1200GS in the States that I would leave with a friend in Delaware or LA depending where I ended up, last trip a few years ago I did the north east coast, CA Maritime's and the Trans Labrador H'way then back in the US at Minnesota, nearly got blown away by a tornado in Grand Falls or Grand Rapids (tiny little place) one night and then blew the bottom end in Bismark ND lol.
Anyway we had best get back on track (pardon the pun)
Michael
Sorry Randy I thought Jac had replied.

We are allowed a bit of off topic, polite conversation.
However, as you well know, 'normal' people hate bikes of all kinds.

This is one of the bikes I built from the ground-up using parts found at swap meets in the days beforeHowever, as you well know, 'normal' people hate bikes of all kinds.
blister packed Asian 'custom' bolt-ons. That was a long time ago.
