As reported earlier, Sakai Machine Tools has closed down, putting an end to the production and sale of Toyo cameras. I have been associated with Toyo for almost 10 years and it pains me to see this happen.
My company Simple Solutions / Uchinomi Camera has purchased the remaining inventory of new spare parts for the Toyo 810M and 810MII cameras. I received the packages yesterday and I hope to finish cataloging them by the end of the month.
I do not have any new parts for other Toyo cameras. However, a couple of days ago I also purchased the inventory of a small camera shop in Tokyo that is closing down at the end of this month. This inventory includes a number of parts for Toyo G, GII, GX and D series 4x5, 5x7 and 8x10 view cameras, 45A and half plate field cameras including standards, rails, tripod clamps, lens boards, lens board adapters, standard and wide angle bellows, viewing hoods, compendium hoods, bellows frames, focusing screens, sliding backs, 8x10>4x5 and 5x7>4x5 reducing adapters, 8x10>whole plate and 5x7>whole plate adapters, 8x10, 5x7 and 4x5 backs and various other small items. I hope to finish cataloging these items also by the end of the month.
If you need a specific part, send me an email at uchinomishiharai at gmail and I will respond as soon as I can.
