all!  I recently found this Poco B 5x7 plate camera at an
antique store near my home. Unfortunately I wasn't able to take
it home, because the proprietor of the store didn't have a price
on it. I checked in 2 weeks later (yesterday) and she still
didn't have a price.  I told her I'd take pictures and ask the
fine folks on LF forum what they thought about it, so here we
are. Condition is as follows:  Front: Focusing bed drops easily,
lens extends easily, bellows look supple and undamaged but
haven't been leak-checked. Lensboard separates easily from front
standard, front standard rise/fall works with little resistance

of focusing knob, and when folded back up it closes securely.

spotted. Shutter operates but is VERY sticky. Aperture blades
OK. Lens barrel says i
