Restoring a Horseman Woodman 45 - best place for parts?

J Durr · Dec 17, 2022

I am restoring a Horseman Woodman 45 camera and will be needing parts. Where is the best place to look? McMaster - Carr has acorn nuts but what size?

Thanks

Last time I needed some Horseman parts, I checked e-bay, looking for a parts camera.

What parts do you need other than an acorn nut?

It arrives on Monday, so I am not sure yet. I may need the black painted focus board. see pic. Oh, and a handle strap for sure. I will know more on Monday.
McMaster-Carr has some acorn nuts but I don't know what size. Do you have any idea? Thanks

I'd guess M4 0.7 pitch for the acorn nut. I got some parts from ecbuyonline2008. Looks like they have a strap that might work. I think they also have bellows too, in case your has some holes and focus screens for Horseman.

BTW, again, nice camera, looks like it does not need much at all.

Thanks. I think I have bought from them in the past. I hope it does not need much! I just can't tell about the chunk of wood broken off. Maybe it won't affect the use. I do not care about it being perfect. I bought it to use.
Thanks again.

That little chip on the front? That is not bad at all and easily repairable. My Century 8x10 was much worse but still very repairable.
