Help with ARFO-4 restoration

Hi All,

I'm trying to restore an ARFO-4 folding camera ( http://bit.ly/MBWLWw ) and it needs a bellows replacement. The camera bellows it seems are double extension and on the back side are 6x9cm.. but not quite, it's a bit wider than that, it's more like 7x9.5cm.

Does anyone know of a similar (probably it'll be German) folder that may have similar dimensions of the bellows, I would appreciate any camera models so I can do an eBay search for that camera to cannibalize for the bellows. Or maybe someone has bellows like that on some parted out camera that can possibly sell to me?

Any help is appreciated!

Thanks,
Vlad.

Luiz, thank you, this is very helpful and exactly what I needed! I found an ICA Trona that has bellows that I can match up, if I don't buy I will try to attempt to make my own, doesn't seem too complicated.

Thanks again!
Vlad

Good luck!
always the first trial is an horror
buy sufficient material to do at least three bellows
the third one shall be perfect.
be pacient and try do do things correctly

Luiz, I think I found a replacement bellows from a fellow collector, but I will attempt to build my own at some point the future, this is very helpful indeed!

Thanks!
Vlad.
