Title: Re: Linhoff Techikardans  6cm x 24cm modified Pan. Camera

the camera likely started life as a 23s technickardon   w/max bellows ext 340mm, using standard linhof bds, for interchangeable lenses up to the bellows limit. if he used the 45 youd have  about 480 mm ext. that much we know. apparently the individual
replaced the entire rear assembly and bellows with an interchangeable ground glass and a
6x24 roll back, 120 only probably as it is simpler because of the paper backing allows a simple red window counter.  unless you get all the parts im guessing at you will be stranded
as replacing for example the roll back would be an exorbitant expense. maybe someone has
this setup and can help you but i rather doubt it. ralph
