My e-bay watch list now has 3 sources of replacement bellows. Who does that? I can't deal with rivets and such. Yet, I keep buying more folders. I'd like new bellows in some of them, but need someone to install them. Previously, I thought you had to make your own. Now there are many offered for sale, even for the Kodak 620s! My camera target is 6x9 folders like the Zeiss Ikon 521/2.

Hello Michael,

It sounds like you want to buy the bellows and have it installed? I don't know if Jurgen of www.certo6.com would do this work or if he is still doing folder CLA and repair, but he's the king of folders and the person that jumped immediately to mind.

Good luck!

Best regards,
AlanH

Thanks Alan,
It is just that bellows are there. I don't want to buy them, camera repair places may have other options. Now I know bellows can be replaced without resorting to making them yourself. If certo6 can do it, so can others. United said it would cost too much.
Michael.

Jurgen recently informed me that he will be without a workshop until February 2016, so no repairs till then. He has active ebay listings and always answers my emails promptly, so you might inquire about his sources of bellows.
