Hello:
Years or decades ago I bought a 2x3 Busch Pressman with detached rear bellows. I am trying to reattach it and think it is missing maybe a rear frame inside the bellows.
I've read that the bellows attached to the metal plate on the back (inside) of the camera.
I have not taken the back apart, but oddly I acquired a 2nd pair of the upper & lower stepped 'plates' that the screws go thru. It took me a while to figure out they were extras. They are different in that the upper one has a cutout to clear the bipin flash connector footprint.
Anyone ever replace a Busch Pressman bellows and know how it attached? I am imagining a wooden frame like on view cameras that have screws attaching the bellows frames to the standard (sometimes front & rear use that method).
I don't see any extra holes in the metal plate inside the camera back.
Even better, has anyone ever photographed the inside of a Busch Pressman bellows and whatever it coupled with?
Or have a better imagination than me?
Thank you
Murray
