Need a source for bellows
 
I picked up a 5x7 Burke & James at an auction about a year ago. The
bellows is ripped.

Does anyone know of a good source for bellows?

Thanks!

Google Turner bellows I think it is. Also look for a bellows place
online in S CA.

Also have you tried Ebay?

I have a list of placed that used to make bellows but
have no idea of which are still in business. FWIW, here is
what I have.

Western Bellows Company

phone. 909 980-0606
Contact Jim Ormond.

The web site is no longer active. This was the only
maker of genuine leather bellows and had a reputation for
making the best. I think I heard that they had gone out of
business.


Flexible Products Co.

I had a bellows made by Flexible Products some years
ago. It is quite servicable and service was good, but the
workmanship left something to be desired.

Turner's web site indicates they still make camera
bellows. Turner made bellows OEM for a number of well-known
camera makers over the years. They are very distantly
related to the Turner of the famous (or notorious)
Turner-Reich lens and the old Gundlach company.

Also try:

Ken Hough
707 Lafayette
Valparaiso IN 46383
219-462-0281
deardorffcameras.0catch.com

Ken rebuilds Deardorff cameras and may either make or
have a source of bellows.

Again, these are all very old, I don't know which are
still in business or if the addresses are correct for those
who are.
