Supplier of quarter turn handle similar to the Ebony one.

Does anyone know a supplier for a quarter turn lever handle similar in size to the one used by Ebony for swing movements?
It's for a similar purpose, but to use on a different camera.
Thanks.

Some shen-hao models have a similar, perhaps identical control, so at least you know there'e not just ebony making these. Maybe you can get shen hao spares direct from them in China.

Dave - I've been looking at the Shen-hao website, and they appear to have four different 4x5 models, but all with the same (pretty indistinct) photograph). Do you know which model has a similar swing movement handle to the Ebony one? Thanks.

Assuming we're both talking about the same thing (?) then have a look at any of the TFC models, they do them in 4x5, 6x17 and upwards, i think they all have the same swing lever.

Not sure if these are any good but if you look on Ebay UK and under Large Format search for "Sinar" there are a number of levers for the Norma camera on offer...may be useful?
