You're spot on - this first step is the most challenging. Looking at a Thornton Pickard 1/4 plate camera which I had hopes of working on, I've not seen any material flexible enough to cover this with. I'd love to visit to see the camera, however geographically, I think I must be at least 12,000 miles away. By next month, that will be down to 4,000 miles when I'm back on assignment. Would love to hear your ideas on restoration via email if possible, since this will be my first time approaching restoration of a box type camera. Kind regards, RJ www.luxcamera.co.uk
