Size of hose for Packard #6?

[photobizzz]

Just picked up a wierd setup for passport photos, two Vivitar 150/4.5 lenses but behind them was a #6 Packard, I am guessing this is the right number as the seller measured the hole for me and it was 3". Anyway I need to find a bulb and hose for this sucker, anyone know which diameter (ID) hose is needed?

I was thinking of using a blood pressure cuff hose and bulb as they are made well and are pretty cheap on eBay, about $10 shipped or so for a cheap one. What subsitutes have you all used in this situation?

Here is the shutter: Packard

Thanks!

i agree with steve, degroff shutter releases
are worth every penny ! ( i have one )

the degroff pistons with engravings
from 100+ years ago work well too, and a medical supply place
and blood pressure hose and bulb will work in a pinch.

Well I picked up a cheap blood pressure cuff for a few bucks but if it doesn't work well I will definitely check out the Degroff ones, Thanks Steve and Jnanian

Well, I can find out the size for a Packard straight-8. Fuel or radiator?
