I am looking for camera repair books or book that covers bellows type cameras and box cameras. I can only find book on newer type cameras. What are good ones to try. I have repair of Classic Cameras by Joe Lippincott but covers newer cameras Thanks Ben |

On bellows cameras, don't look for camera service manuals. Rather, look for a manual on the shutter/lens assembly. You see Ben, a particular lens/shutter may have been used on several different brands of camera. |

For camera shutters, the most popular and best repair site is on this web site... http://daniel.mitchell.name/cameras/index.html
If you are looking for new bellows for those gems talk to Mark Kapono, he'll fashon it up in no time at all for a very reasonable price... http://www2.hawaii.edu/~mkapono/bellows.htm |

Also you might find Restoring Classic and Antique Cameras by Alii Service Notes or Restoring The Great Collectible Cameras, Restoring Classic & Collectible Cameras, Camera Maintenance & Repair and Camera Maintenance & Repair Book 2 all by Thomas Thomosy to be helpful. |

If you need help with a Graphlex contact me. I've factory repair manuals (but no scanner). Still, I could photograph some relevant pages for any specific problems.
I'll echo Curt's recommendation on Thomosy's book. It's been a lot of help to me, Includes instructions on bellows repair and making bellows as well. |

Hey Frankp, you wouldn't happen to have a repair manual for a Graflex Graphic 35 by any chance. I've got a gem, but the shutter is locked up. It deserves a new lease on life! |
