Build out a Toyo Omega 45D 4x5 View Camera - Just add bellows

For those of you that may not know, the Omega-View Line of Large Format cameras were made by Toyo for Omega.  This particular model does not use interchangeable bellows, but has the bellows glued to the standards.  Also the 4x5 Graflok/Ground Glass holder is fixed with screws, however the ground glass assembly can be removed and can revolves 360°.  The lens boards used are Toyo standard 158 mm x 158 mm.

I don't currently have a replacement bellows on hand, so I am selling this as is with the old bellows included.
Both of the bellows metal frames are included as well as all of the screws.
Being that my intentions were to replace the bellows, the seating surface of the standards were cleaned of the former adhesive.

Overall, this camera is in great shape shape.  All movements and knobs function as they should. In my opinion the rear focus lever is not as tight as the front, however it locks down tight enough.
The focusing mechanisms ways were tightened via the set screws.
There is some slight paint loss on the ground glass frame.

Please see the pictures and feel free to message with any questions.  Everything shown in the images is included, except for the Tripod.

Your Omega 45D will ship upon your payment which is expected within 12 hours of the listings end.  Shipping will be provided by USPS Priority Mail or UPS Ground, worldwide.

Thanks for looking.
