    Looking for a source for Calumet 8x10 C1 parts

    I am looking for a part for my Calumet 8x10 C-1 "Black Beast". Specifically I am looking for one of the lock plates that holds the camera closed - when it is folded up. It is 3/4" x 2-5/8" with rounded ends and three holes. I believe it is 24 or 22 gauge. Does anyone know if there are still parts available.

    That part is the first part to get ruined on any C1, both of them

    I really doubt any are left, as so many were/are needed

    Small bungee works...

    They do look intact

    Let's see how much they cost...

    It would be easy to make a few hundred, what would you pay?

    Years ago i made and sold here Stainless steel copies of the C1 Darkcloth hoop, I ran out and made myself 2 more recently

    The hoop also fits my Linhof 8x10 front and rear, becoming a lens shade on front

    Only useful in studio
