Well If you dont know no you do, I am restoring a Century 10A Graflex Master Studio. It is a Huge Turd. I got it fr the lens, ad a good lens was had indeed. I just could not see myself being so wasteful and letting this camera end up in a land fill or a fire place.
I, being handy with wood working and such decided to restore said turd to former glory.
It came to me with the sliding carriage and an awesome 5x7 back. Seems the 8x10 was costly back in the day so lots of studios down sized to 5x7.
On with the show. I am making some head way, plugging away a little each night. At this rate I should be ready to make a picture when film is no longer available.
Here is the turn in question.
Here is the sliding carriage getting ready for disassembly and stripping of the wonderful Grey paint.
I found some stripper that will eat to the bone, Have to be real careful this stuff is nasteee.
