Exploded diagram/Spare parts for the Calumet C-1

Danny Treacy · Aug 29, 2017

Hi all,

I'm in the process of purchasing a Calumet C-1 that is missing a couple of parts. I don't know the exact number of the items so does anyone know where I can get hold of a kind of exploded diagram of the camera enabling me to identify the parts?

Also is there a source for the parts stil? I'm thinking that since calumet US folded is it possible to find a supplier? I'm based in the uk but don't imagine that calumet U.K. will have any parts, I don't think that they even have parts for ANY analogue cameras.

Thanks,
Danny.

Calument cameras were made by Cambo https://www.cambo.com/en/
Try contacting them for information/parts.

Hi,

Thanks for the response but I don't think the C-1 was ever made here in Europe. I know that certain Cambo cameras were made by Calumet but I don't think it applies to the C-1, which would account for their scarcity in Europe.

Thanks

There is not supplier of parts anymore. Ebay, or ask here in the classifieds, or the large format forum for parts.

Just take some pics of your camera and post them and people can tell you what you need.

Yes they are in the U.K. also but there's no chance at all that they would stock any C-1 parts, I doubt that the staff working there would know what one was.

I doubt any camera store clerk knows anything about cameras or photography beyond Push Here Dummy.
Call or email the company headquarters and ask for an IPB or Service Manual.

Good idea, what's an IPB?

Jesus Christ that's a lot of knobs! Do you recall if they were inch or metric? I'm guessing inch as its US made? Thanks for the info!

They were inch but I don't remember which size. Probably 1/4-20.
