I have here a Cambo monorail, not sure on the exact model. excellent working order, my first LF camera but I find it a bit awkward for lugging about (I wanted something more easily portable so bought a Graflex speed graphic). I'm selling the basic camera, so front and rear standards, lens board (43mm cutout), rotating graflock back with ground glass/grid, bellows, 460mm monorail and tripod mount. There is no lens, shutter, darkslides or tripod included in the sale.
The camera is in good clean condition, a couple of scuffs to control knobs but its still very smart, a good range of movements are available of this and the rotating back is handy for portraits.
£100 or may be interested in a trade for a longer lens or fast barrel like a Kodak Aero Ektar.
please excuse the terrible phone pics, if you want decent piccies emailing let me know.

Still available, I'll weigh it tomorrow for you. I didn't get a recessed board but I can point you in the direction of a reasonably priced one if you like. My main issue lugging it around was the bloomin heavy slick video tripod I borrowed from work.

I was using a very old (10-15yr at a guess) alike tripod with regular 2way tilting head. It's the one in the pic. IMHO you don't need anything fancy, the clamp uses a fairly big bolt to attach it to the tripod. I'll do you some better pics tomorrow. Bill.

The main camera less lens is about 3.6Kg but I did this with an old Salter Balance so it may not be 100% accurate it should be quite close. The tripod fixing is a bolt of just under 10mm dia (3/8 UNC probably) I have a couple of bolts to include.

Payment could be paypal, bank transfer, cheque if you don;t mind waiting for it to clear.
Postage would be about £7-9 at a guess for a well packed standard parcel, call it a fiver though, I'll absorb the rest.

As far as I'm aware its light tight, I couldn't see any pinholes or any issues, the negs I took looked fine.
Yep, I can post anywhere
PM on its way about the lens board.
Bill.
