Well done, wonderful job...
I can think of a few things you're not including in that 10 hours though...

Beautiful job! You must be very good friends with the local wood chap, for him to chop some Castro-era furniture for you. Some people just know what's the right honor to bestow.
Well Done!
Beautifully done. What a treasure!

Nicely restored !
Not sure what you meant by " She's 4x5 now " ?
Lovely work.
Fantastic ! Time to run some film through it
I'm so upset. I thought that I owned the only "proper" Ansco in the UK.
I went to Brum for my bellows (red), what a great company, and I have 4x5 & 5x7 backs. Mine is not restored but retains a wonderful patina which I only give a coat of wax polish every now and again.
I use mine from time to time although I regard it as an early (1926 / 27) small town portrait studio camera, I do photograph other things with it.
I opened the front of mine up to take B&J sized lens boards so any value as an antique has probably been wiped out!
Welcome to the forum anyway.
Best wishes,
Pete
Haha. I spent 25+ hours on a 5x7 Ansco restoration. Cleaning all of the brass, shimming the rails, fixing two splits in the wood, etc. I thought 10 hours sounded like an optimistic estimate.
You can buy new ansco lens boards from a seller on eBay.
Enjoy it and beautiful work!!!
