Need Bakelite knob For Linhof Color

CropDusterMan · Dec 12, 2018

Hello all,
Was looking to see if anyone had a Burgundy color knob for the Tripod sliding mount
on the old Linhof Color. THis camera is in mint condition, except that the knob is cracked.
Let me know if you have one you want to part with and I can arrange payment.

Kind regards,
Jason

If you can't find a Linhof version, here's a place I got knobs when I rehabbed my Ansco 8x10.

I would consider
-) cementing, if still possible
-) moulding a copy in polyester or epoxy or having this done by a specialized workshop.

And this helps me how?

Looking for someone who may have original parts, I know I can have one 3D printed or that other options
exist. Repair of old one not possible. Only those with access to original parts need reply. Thanks.

Just a reminder - sarcasm isn't necessarily the intention when one makes a "good luck" post on the internet.

I have one of those old Linhof’s too. The red knobs are really attractive on that camera. I have spare white knobs for the 2nd generation Color, but no red ones unfortunately.

Hi btaylor,
Do you know if it's the same size as the burgundy one? If it is, I'd be interested. Feel free to DM me.

You are correct. I owe Mainecoonmaniac an apology. I took his comment the wrong way...forums, much like texts lack
the context of the spoken word. Thanks for the reply Matt.

Regards,
Jason

Forgive me.

I am amazed that such stuff is available.
I mean, have not even ever come across any Kardan model. And I'm from Linhof country...
