Hi

I've just joined the forum, as I love classic cameras and have a small collection which I like to use.

I picked up an Ensign Pocket Twenty camera from a general second-hand shop.

Sadly the front of the bellow has lost its rivets that connect it to the sliding shoe. So the shoe is separate to the bracket supporting the lens. Its a shame as everything else is in tact and working.

I don't know how to remove the broken rivets or find/hammer in any new ones, so I really need a repair shop in the UK. Does anyone know of a good one who might be able to do this kind of thing? I'm based in Bournemouth, but can obviously send the camera if necessary.

Thanks for any tips
Sue

Sue,

I will gladly re-attach the upright for the cost of return postage. Send me a pm if you would like to proceed - I am in Rawdon near Leeds - and I will send you my address and phone number.

Glenn
