Any good as a learning / restoration project
have come across this
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/THORNTON-P...IAAOSwmJdZgiad on that well known internet auction site, seems to have it's fair share of problems If it went cheap, would this be a good starter restoration project ? My skills and tools are definitely only of a diy standard and this is way outside my comfort zone having never done anything like this. Got to start learning somewhere, but is this a step too far ? Your words of wisdom and opinions are most welcome.

It's a strut style Thornton Pickard All Weather Press camera with a Focal plane shutter. It's stated to be 6"x4¼" camera, but it isn't, not with a 6" lens. Most likely it's a quarter plate camera.
It's not really a good restoration project to start with. Ian |

Hi Ian,
