Ok, this camera is being sold "AS IS". I have never used it or this model previously and know nothing about it except that it was the model used by Weston and Adams later in their careers. I bought it in a lot for the tripod. I will describe everything that I can see wrong with it and you can use the pictures as well. The bellows have some type of residue on them that will need to be cleaned off and can be seen in photos. There are some cracks/small holes along the creases of the bellows that do not go through the fabric inner layer. I think some black gaffers tape will adequately solve this issue as the majority of the bellows are in good shape. One of the joints on the front extension rail will need some wood glue. While it stays in well, it does come out with pressure. All the knobs work properly and are all accounted for. The packard shutter operates properly, but will need a new bulb. A new wood screw is also needed inside on the top right hand side (housing) as it is loose. I don't know anything else about it or how it works other than what I have described. I think with a little tlc you would have a decent camera with a lot of movements. Pricing it to sell at $325.00 plus shipping (US only please) which leaves you some money to work on the issues previously mentioned. Please pm me directly if interested. Thank you, Mike.
