I'm not sure of the stiffness of the material, but it could deflect enough to compromise the seal!!


Of all the leaky marquee bellows its always been on the tube face mount and never at the C-Element side.
The old bellows have the same overhang.

Never mind...I've got other projects to work on but I'm willing to buy a set of those bellows the moment I can break the money free. I've been madly buying tools to equip my hobby machine shop and that has depleted most of my discretionary reserves.

I'd like to get a full size copy of that print. Though it's been a long time coming, I now have acquired the tooling I need for use with my
milling machine that I could possibly make molds. Not that I intend to. But I'd like to see a full scale print anyway.


Are you serious Chris ?

The Bellow List: Updated on 3/22/2009 @ 4:02 Pm

Draganm 3 Paid
CRT_Ben 6 Paid
J Kildare 3 Paid
John Barnes 3 paid

New fee adjustment,
fee is 3.33% for USA and 4.33% for non USA customers, this will keep it close to with a few pennies of what they charge me.
thanks Guys.

Shipping will be figured out once I receive the bellows, remember I do not know for sure How long it will take

Were'nt there more guys who said they'd buy in to this if it came to be? I think it may be time for all those wanted these to come forward so Anthansios isn't holding the bag for so many of these. Hope we hear something soon, I'd like to replace my weepy old ones.

remember how hard it was to get people to pitch in for the Red C-elements, but people still keep posting here looking fo them. They will all sell eventually, people who buy after it's all done will just pay more. Wink

Just checked my Voice messages on Vonage and Dale called back and said the machining is still in the schedule books. Hopefully mid late next week they will start the machining of the plates.

Are the bellows the same size for the 8" and 9" units? If not, I take it you are doing the 8" ones or are you doing both

The nice thing about the Maquee 8500LC and 9500LC is they use the same bellows , C-elements, and lens's. only the inner LC housing plates are different(two parts). This is why I like the Marquee you can switch back and forth depending on what tubes you find cheap. Sure you might down grade once but durring that time waiting for a nice 9 inch tube find you can keep enjoying your Marquee as an 8 inch set. its versatility is what made me get one umm , umm SIX Wink

Haven't heard anything since the voicemail. Onec they do make the molds then we have to wait for them to schedule the production line to make the
actual bellows. I am sure they will make a few test bellows. If I get any of those I'll send one out to you to test. I am Leaving for Greece on may 13th and will be back June 9th. Hopefully They will at least have the samples made before I leave.
