There's an affiliate link for the screwdriver set in the comments. Good luck!

Sorry, no. Check out my other video where I do the restoration. I include info about how I got the new bellows and show my experience with the installation. I hope it inspires you to DIY it. Good luck!

Did you also press to release the two side arms?

There are 2 kinds of black and white film. The more common kind is panchromatic which is sensitive to most wavelengths including red light (think Ilford HP5+ and FP4+). The other kind is orthochromatic film (like Ilford Ortho Plus) which is sensitive only to blue and green light, but not red. This kind can take some exposure to red light without harm.

With roll film like this, you just keep advancing it until the whole spool is taken up. Then the paper backing will be covering the film so you can safely remove it. Unfortunately, there's no way to see, so you just have to keep turning the advance until you're sure you've gone far enough. There's no harm if you keep going. Once you remove the spool, stick the end tab down so it doesn't come loose.

As far as I know the original 116 film is not available anywhere, but you can use 120 film in this camera using a 116 to 120 film adapter (added a link to the description). 120 film is still readily available from many places that sell film. I use filmphotographystore.com, amazon, and bhphotovideo.com.

​​@@homestudioplace thanks dude if i got some question do you mind if I ask them to you ? And also so you sell camera online ?

You're always welcome to ask questions in the comments. No, I do not sell anything photographic, I'm just here trying to help.

@@homestudioplace thanks dude you re the goat you think you are

Good tip, thanks!

You do not need the extension tube. I just used it to get closer focus and greater magnification in this case. The lens works quite well as a normal 55mm lens on the adapter. Thanks for asking!

You're welcome!

Wishing you many more photos with your Pentax. :)

:)

Good luck! I hope you share the results. :)

Lol! I know what you mean!

inside could get a little flat black paint on the white screws, Thanks for the show and tell. Great job. do mine next?

Good idea, thanks!

Thank you!

Thanks for watching and commenting!

Glad to hear it!

I hope you do it. Good luck!

Good luck!

On either the media or edit tabs (at the bottom) you should be able to open your shortcut/context menu (right-click on PC) and see an option for "new fusion composition." If it's not there, I'm not sure why that would be.

Awesome, thank you!

Thanks!

Glad it helped!

I appreciate that!

I would guess it would, but I can't say for sure.

I haven't ever had my hands on a No. 1, but they seem to be very similar, so I expect so. My bellows were the same; shedding black dust at a touch. It was a little nerve wracking, but worth it to me. Measure carefully.

Lucky I found a document that had bellow codes for older bellows from repair shops, they seem to be in nice condition. Thanks for the advice in the video!

Update, ive taken out the bellows but I have yet to take out the rectangular peice.

I wouldn't personally recommend it. With a quick web search, I learned that coconut oil has good lubricity properties but higher wear than similar mineral oils. The main problems, in my uneducated opinion, would be two things. 1) The pour point of coconut oil is around 21-24C, which means at or below that temperature, it will be a solid, which probably isn't good for the movement of camera parts. 2) It can go rancid and support mold growth.

@@homestudioplace will wahl blade Clipper oil do the trick ?

I have used Braun clipper oil in the past. It worked, but I can't vouch for how long.

@@homestudioplaceokay. I appreciate the prompt responses. Ill try with this method and keep you updated for future viewers

Glad it helped you!

It may not be too late. I restored mine, and have a video showing the process. It did take some money, effort, and a bit of courage, but this being my father's camera (and, I think, his father's) I found it to be worth it.

Glad it was helpful. To add it to the video, in CZcams studio, after you upload the video, you can upload your custom thumbnail as a jpg file on the "video details" page. From studio, click "content" on the left side, then click the "pencil" looking icon on the video you want to edit (it will show "details" when you mouse over it). this will bring you to the details screen for the video where you can edit the title and description. Right under title is description, and under that you'll see "Thumbnail" where you can upload your jpg. Hope this helps some more :)

@@homestudioplace ok cool. This is very helpful! Im about to get into content creation and these videos help out alot.

thanks for the comment :)

Sorry, real life has gotten in the way lately. It's on my list to do. Thank you for asking!

You're right. I didn't try that.

Cool! I hope my video helps with the bellows replacement. Sorry, I don't have any answers for the leather strap. If you find a source, I hope you'll comment a link for everyone! Thanks!

¡De nada! Espero que tomes muchas más fotos. :)

You'll get it. :)

@@homestudioplace Yep, stupidly I was trying to put it in straight down rather than sliding it in. I'm looking forward to having a play with it and seeing if it all still works. I couldn't figure out why everything looked blurry through the viewfinder till I realised you don't need to close one eye like I did in the cameras I used as a child 🤣🤦‍♂

Awesome! Glad it helped. :)

Hi, absolutely! I use a Nanch precision screwdriver set I got on Amazon. There's a link to it in the description section of the video, but if you search Amazon for "Nanch precision screwdriver set" you'll find something close enough.

Glad it helped!

Wish I could. It's hard over text. First, be careful. These cameras are old (duh), and the bellows are very likely to tear. If it's been closed for a long time, likely many years, the folds may be stuck and the fabric/paper has hardened. It's also possible the metal standard is stuck. It should slide along the bottom rails fairly easily, but if something is bent, misaligned, or rusted, that may be the reason. Good luck!

Thank you for the reply.. The bellows seems to be ok ..I think it is a rail problem.. I thought maybe there was a release button of some sort but it sounds like from what you are saying there is no release button you just pull it out using the center knob. That's what appears to be stuck..It will pull outa out 1/4inch and that's it.. Any suggestions... Thanks@@homestudioplace

On mine, there is a release on the right hand side near the rail if you're looking at the lens. You only have to press the release to fold it back up (not to extend it), though. Maybe that's catching?

Ok thanks I do see the release i will try that.@@homestudioplace

Ok you are going to love this... My nephew came and figured it our...Thanks so much for all your help... the release button was a little stuck.. but he got it out... Thanks for the messages!

Sweet! They're pretty amazing devices. When I have a little more free time, I have a few rolls of film to shoot with mine.

Happy to help!

Thanks for watching! What else would you like to know?

Awesome! Good luck!

It definitely could. Cold makes oil more viscous. Of course, it could ust be the ge of the camera showing, too. Good luck!

Thank you! Cheers!

Thanks for watching! I'm planning a video of my scanning setup, but y'know... life. I'll get to it as soon as I can. :)

Glad I could help!
