Century Master Studio Camera Restoration

[Louis Pacilla]

One original lock knob (#8 in picture below) and the original crank on my camera are missing. Where can I buy the similar ones?

Hey David I may have an extra Century crank handle floating around my house so once I've returned home in the next couple of days I'll start looking around & if/once located I'll PM you.

Louis: this is great! Let me know when you find it. I can pay it. Many thanks! David

Does the treaded rod/nut work ok? If so, great! If not, you might replace them with an ACME threaded rod and nut. My original didn't work well anymore, and so that's what I did. I did have to have one end of the rod machined in a lathe. If you ever need to do that, I can give you more info and take some pictures.

Just kidding but I bet those will be DIGITAL pics!

as I shop for new Godox Digital

I get giddy before a Thanksgiving feast!

Cheer all!

You can make a knob out of a acorn nut glued into a wooden knob.

I bet you may find a close facsimile

McMaster-Carr has a few options

Hey David I'm back at my house (returned late yesterday) and I'll dedicate time today to locating the Century tilt crank handle. I'm pretty sure I'll find it so keep checking in. I'll be in touch.

Peace
