Hi
I have just bought this camera cgi.ebay.com/Early-Nagaoka-2X3-Wooden-Field-Camera_W0QQitemZ7576654700QQcategoryZ15247QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem.
The focussing is geared, but is very heavy and uneven, like "ratched". Oil did not help. I have the feeling that it is not the metal parts, that are the reason, but the wooden parts, which glide inside/alongside each other. Is there any cure at all? Taking the thing apart and sanding carefully? I feel I need to know if it can be done or not, before I sacrifice a lot of money on a new bellows and a new back. Both would be necessary if I want to go on with the camera. The low weight means a lot to me, so IF it could be restored to good working order, I would stretch far for it.
Thanks for any idea! - Hening.
