brian_ellis3 Posted September 11, 2003 Share Posted September 11, 2003 This is a question for any Ebony owner who has a bag bellows. I bought a used bag bellows from a reputable retailer and tried it for the first time today on my SVTe. I had a good bit of difficulty getting it to stay on the front standard. The normal bellows has a metal "lip" all around the front and when installing the bellows it's easy to slide the bottom lip into the slot on the bottom of the front standard and then to move the top slider over the top lip. My bag bellows doesn't have such a lip. Instead, the bellows material is virtually flush with the metal front. That seems to be why it was so difficult to fit it into the bottom slot and then to slide the top slider over the top of the bellows. My question to any Ebony owner who owns the bag bellows: is it normal for the bag bellows to not have the same "lip" around the front that the standard bellows has? Probably I just need some practice, this is the first bag bellows I've owned, but does anyone have any tips for installing the thing? I followed the instructions but they're very brief and don't go into any detail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bulent_ozgoren Posted September 12, 2003 Share Posted September 12, 2003 Brian, my bag bellows has a metal frame "lip" around the front as well as the back just like the standard bellows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brian_ellis3 Posted September 12, 2003 Author Share Posted September 12, 2003 Thanks, I followed the suggestion that I contact Ian. He said that it doesn't sound right to him and wants to see a picture of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
