Test Roll Accessory: Bellows replacement - 1A Autographic Kodak Jr

[@williambenn4857]

Great video. You have helped me a lot with my folding camera. Where would I look to buy those tiny nuts and bolts?

[@martinkauper4991]

Thanks for the kind words. I got the screws and nuts from McMaster-Carr. www.mcmaster.com/products/screws/ Best wishes! Martin

@@martinkauper4991 Hi! Can I ask which ones you specifically got?

[@martinkauper4991]

@@ethanshealey Had to poke about a bit but then I got lucky: Brass Decorative Round Head Slotted, 0-80 Thread size, 1/4" long # 92482A267 and Brass Hex Nut, 0-80 Thread size #92671A115

where did you find the tiny brass screws to replace the drilled out rivets? I drilled out the rivets but the holes are only 1/16 wide and I can't find any screws or bolts that narrow.

[@martinkauper4991]

Sorry, I'm late seeing this. I got the screws at McMaster Carr.

Thank you so much for this video! I have a Kodak monitor six-20 in need of new bellows. I was told it wasn't possible because of the rivets, you give me hope it might be doable! Now to find that old new stock bellows...Lastly - what kind of drill did you use for such delicate work?

[@martinkauper4991]

Sorry for the late reply. The drill wasn't too special. I used the smallest, or next to smallest in my kit. I drilled it from the inside and just used it to cut thru most of the peened over rivet without enlarging the hole itself. Thanks for giving it a view!

Классный аппарат!

Hi, I am trying to follow your instructions but I am unable to simply unscrew the lense like you did at @3:04 do you have any tips?

[@martinkauper4991]

Old lenses can be on pretty tight sometimes. Rubber gloves, or sheet rubber can be used to get a better grip. It would be worth poking around looking at lens repair videos. Good luck!

@@martinkauper4991 I'm not sure what I did but it finally popped off, hopefully my last question will be, when installing the new bellow, did you screw on the front first or slot it into the metal tabs in the back first?

[@martinkauper4991]

​@@ethanshealey I recall wrestling with it for some time. I think, I ended up affixing the tabs in back and then screw on the front. It was very fiddly. My fingers are kind of fat which made it more difficult.

[@ethanshealey]

@@martinkauper4991 Hmm, how did you manage to bend the ten tabs open? I cant seem to fit anything under them and they're super awkward to reach

[@martinkauper4991]

@@ethanshealey It was very fiddley. I used a bent small bladed screwdriver for some and a needle nosed pliers for others. It took quite some time and was not without some scratching.

[@carlrudd1858]

a. your fingers are NOT fat. b. why doesn't your ice cream ever melt? Inquiring minds want to know.

[@Mr.HarryPotter]

Please make a new video and show every step. The most important steps were not shown. Please talk too. Thank you.

I have to leave replies like this all the time... guys move too fast and don't think their steps out for the viewer. Not knocking this guy, but it's always something...
