Re: [APML] Mitsuboshi 6x9 camera viewing screen

["Steve Walters" <s-walters@comcast.net>]

The 6x9 film back for the Mitsuboshi is a standard Horseman film back 
modified for vacuum. Look for a Horseman ground glass plate, it should fit 
your Mitsuboshi camera. Simply remove the film back and put the Horseman 
plate in.
