Hi everyone. I've got an Agfa Billy 4.5 that I want to put a new bellows in but can't see how the film gate is attached to the rest of the camera. Does anyone have any ideas? Most of the other Agfas I've read about seem to have a couple of screws either side of the gate - but not this one - not even under the rollers.

I've seen some Agfa folders where the film gate is held by rivets on the top and bottom. If yours is like that the best idea is just cut the old bellows out and glue the new one in from the front.

Thanks for the help. I think I'll do that.
