I have parts for three cameras available.

  • Pony Premo #4, 4x5 format - no hood, ground glass is damaged but usable. Front doesn't lock up.
  • Conley 5x7 - missing the tripod mount plate, and no ground glass. It would be fairly easy to make a new plate, but harder to replicate the swing movements.
  • Unbranded 8x10 - missing the rail, no ground glass, bellows is in poor condition. You might be able to save the bellows, or at least use the exterior leather with new paper inserts.

Also includes a 5-3/4 x 9-7/8 rail, 4-7/8 from center to center of the tracks, and a 8-3/4 x 14-1/4 rail. I'm thinking that you could cut the large rail down to fit the 8x10 body. Finally, a 6x6 undrilled lensboard.

I have some silicon dioxide 800 grit powder I can send along so that you can make your own ground glass. I've used it to make ground glass for other cameras. A bit of powder, a bit of water, and grinding with a spare piece of glass. Takes about half an hour to do a 4x5.

Asking $300 plus S/H from zip code 47401.

Forgot that I didn't include the silicon dioxide for making the ground glass. Want me to send some to you?
