Hello everyone,
I have what I think is a Tudor c1906. Here are some images:






Everything is working with regards to the mechanics but I have no back for it. Is there anything that could be used to hold a film in the back of it so I could take a picture. I was thinking 5 x 4 sheet film holder or something to that effect. But I dont know much about antique cameras.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Interesting setup. The back on it is a condenser enlarger arrangement. That, of course, is not needed for taking photos. To use the camera you will need the back that holds a ground glass focus panel and that will accept modern sheet film holders. You may have to do some inventing on that one. If the lens and shutter are in working order and the bellows are light tight, you will have a working camera. To make a working back for the camera is not that hard. A good source of parts and pieces is the well known auction site. Good luck with your project.
