I got the camera off the stand today. Two 3/8" captive thumb screws hold the camera to the deck. They are the same as I see on Tin Can's upside down picture. I got the old lens, convertible working with I believe is 28" just the rear cell. I focused it on a blooming Christmas Cactus in the window, it was huge. This stuff is so amazing. I'm being very careful with the bellows. Just a couple pin holes in corners, but they are dry as the desert.
I'm going slow, trying not to break something.
I feel this is a bit of a gift that has been handed to me to preserve. The studio cameras are getting scarce.
The stand is going to be a steep learning curve. It's got the lever with the cam. It's just hanging there, the cam isn't pushing against anything.
One thing at a time.
