I will look them up. I'm guessing you send the old ones for measurement purposes? I will contact them and see where we go from here. Good to know there is someone still doing it.
Thanks for teh info about Carol. Do have contact info? Funny enough, I picked this up in Whittier. Would definitely swing by if it works out.
As far as the lower rail, I have no skills in this regard. The damage does make me nervous I will admit but I can't fabricate fro shit so a repair seems like the easiest solution.
Thanks very much! Good to know.
An update. The camera is fully disassembled. It was easy to do but I did damage the lower rail gear as in it snapped when trying to remove it. Thems the breaks of a soft metal piece that needed prying. It's a clean break though so I'm hoping it gears smoothly once put back together.
For now, I'll inquire about the various thinsg I need done. I think I'm going to levae the finish as is because it is actually quite nice. The metal pieces will be cleaned up but I'm going to leave the non-corrosive patina. Especially where the copper is concerned as I don't like the look of naked copper. For now it looks like the biggest barrier to continuing is the shutter repair, a replacement lens board with a more solid metal threaded mount (any advice on where to source this?), and having the bellows manufactured.
