Want to Buy Calumet C1 8x10 backs wanted!

WTB 8x10, 4x5, and 5x7 backs to fit a Calumet C1

For many years, I had no idea what the heck my 8x10 camera was, and I have been using a rigged up back for it that is less than ideal. However, I recently discovered that it is a strange Calumet C1 short focus model.
This being discovered, I would like to track down some backs that will work properly on it, as my DIY back is landscape orientation only, and portraits require some very strange tripod manipulations.

So, I need an 8x10 back before I can do anything else as my DIY may not come off in one piece (here's what a correct back should look like):

Once that's taken care of, a 5x7 and 4x5 back would be very nice to have!

Have you tried posting a want ad on the Large Format Photography Forum?

I am sure @AnselMortensen will see this; maybe he has one or knows of one, as he's a LF fanatic and has lots of spare parts!

Sorry, I don't have a source for one for you.

Yes, the 4x5 backs are easy to find, but I need the 8x10 back first or I will no longer be able to shoot 8x10, as my makeshift back may not go back on properly.
