Found a plate holder

you could always get slotted film holders

Bethe,

Denise Ross over at http://www.thelightfarm.com/ is going to be doing an online tutorial on making dry plates. She did one on Gas Light Paper in January and, if I remember correctly, she will be doing dry plate later this month.

Dan

Bethe;

Mark Osterman at George Eastman House teaches both wet and dry plate. He has all of the chemistry and equipment to do both.

PE

Dan and PE, thank you both very much! I'll definitely keep both of those in mind. I do also have regular film holders for this camera. The only problem is that the curtain doesn't move right when you push the lever to expose the film. If I can get it to just be at the open position (haven't tried too hard, yet) and stay there, I can at least do the lens cap method.

You need to get the camera functional, can't suggest anyone in the US, I've fixed a few Graflex cameras but not for others and it's not too difficult.

Meanwhile who need to find the T setting. not so hard if the shutter will fire.
