My Ansco Speedex Special “R”

I finally found my Ansco Speedex Special “R”. I was wondering where it was. We moved a few times and I was trying to find that box. It was under my nose all the time sitting in a box of parts in my office closet.

Now I have to find some time to get this thing going. This was from a house fire my brother worked on. Anyway, he gave it to me, but it’s covered with smoke. I could send it out for repair and spend some money (more than it’s worth) or I could bite the time bullet and do some repair.

I guess I’ll be doing the restoration myself. Here’s a good website for information about the Ansco and Agfa cameras. Agfa and Ansco Medium Format Folders, a practical view I wish CameraLeather.com had pre-cut leather for this.

Here’s a look at what someone can do with these medium format folders at Agfa and Ansco Medium Format Folders, a practical view www.certo6.com
