Hi.
I have a No 2 Folding Pocket Brownie Model B Kodak with red bellows. Itīs in very good condition and the shutter works great, but the viewfinder is not the original one. The new viewfinder is bigger than the original one and it damages the bellows when the camera is closed. Do you know how to find a replacement?
Thank you in advance for your help.

Dunno about a replacement, but you could probably make a functional one. It is just a little block of wood, hollowed out and bevelled for the mirror, with a piece of chromed brass over the top. Here's mine.

Making one that looks like that probably won't be easy, but I would have thought that making one that works wouldn't be too difficult. Does that help? |

Thank you for your answer, Adrian. Maybe it is the best option. If I canīt find a replacement before Christmas I will make a new one.
Best wishes! |
