For Sale FS Kodak Specialist 2 5 X 7 / 1/2 plate project camera

[Simon Benton]

Selling a Kodak Specialist 2 camera I have had for a long time intending to restore but will never get around to. This is a 1/2 plate camera but takes standard 5 x 7 film holders such as Fidelity, Lisco etc. Camera is in good user condition but needs some TLC. I had begun stripping the paint and looks like it is made of mahogany. All movements work and lock down tightly. The bellows have pinholes and will need patching but generally they are in not bad condition. Camera was made in the 1950`s and I found a reference to a user manual here

This is a camera worth restoring to bring back to its former glory.
$120.00US plus shipping

I have one of these as well, pretty cool camera but mine is also in so-so shape... How did you go about stripping the paint?

Removed hardware and then applied mild paint stripper and then fine hand sanding with 180 and 240 grit.
