Reviving Universal Roamer II
I got this folding medium format camera off ebay. It was labeled "ugly" on ebay, which means it was in a really bad shape. Over the course of a week or so I took it apart and cleaned everything, lubricated the metal parts, polished the rusty stuff, cleaned the optical elements in methanol and put everything back together. The bellows were "moisturized" then glued back into place. I also got some covering leather from cameraleather.com and cut new covering using our lab's laser cutter.
