Building a set of bellows is a pretty daunting job... Thomas Tomosy has a good chapter on it in his book "Restoring Classic & Collectible Cameras." Check Amazon... Good book! He also tells in his book how to reskin a set of bellows... Still, not a simple task, but much easier than starting from scratch if the inside layers of the bellows are somewhat intact. Many of the older Kodaks have the back end of the bellows held in place with little bendable tabs. Tomosy also describes how to alter a pair of needle nose pliers to make lifting these tabs easier. I have to admit I've never attempted an extensive bellows repair myself, usually just regluing things for cosmetic appearance. Marty |
