There are at least 2 Deardorff cameras that use the 18.5" square back.
My SC11 is one.

Question, I picked this up last week. A Deardorff 11x14 commercial camera. Has a rotating 8x10 back. According to a 1939 Deardorff document the 11X14 will take a 13 inch lens as minimum focal length. I have the extra bellows ( not installed here) looks like to get down to a 14 inch lens I will need to take out the center section shown here on this camera. These are absolutely amazing machines for technical work. I see why these were used for catalogs and technical photos.
Is it practical to take out the center support to use this as a "portrait" camera with a 14 inch Nikkor W? I have a Folmer and Schwing 11X14 that will work great on the stand as well. My other option is I have a nice 19 inch "red dot" Artar and a Packard shutter.
Advice and information please!
I need brass shims for front standard. Appears to ben1/8×3/16×4 7/8 inches. Any suggestions?

It's been 6 years since I took mine apart, so don't recall every bit
I can again, but it seems you have it under control
Let us know if you need anything further
