    Looking for Info for a Dark box/bag

    I have acquired a dark bag/box of a rather large size. It is collapsible and folds into a handy briefcase and has a name plate stating "Copal Dark Box Model CDB-2200" made in Japan.
    The closest thing I have found online is the fuji dark box. However, unlike the Fuji, this one doesn't have sides/rods which span the width of the cloth.
    I am having trouble setting it up into it's full box setup (if it is even meant to be setup like the Fuji) and failing in my search in trying to find it online. I would really appreciate it if someone here may know of it and can guide me in setting it up or share a link/catalogue with information.

    I'm sharing images of the Fuji dark box in the meantime and will update with the images of the Copal dark box in my possession tomorrow.

    Brilliant! Great mod for an otherwise "plain jayne" changing bag! Now I've got to do something really nice for my wife...because I just may have a bit of a sewing project lined up for her!

    It is pretty great, and the copal one is a really comfortable size for 8x10, if only I can figure out how to prop it properly, or maybe I am doing it properly and it is what it is.

    Sorry about the image orientation, I just can't seem to get it correct
