   My Agfa/Ansco 5x7 Universal View camera was bought at a
yard sale where it was being sold as _furniture_. It was
complete with factory 4x5 back, crank-up Agfa camera stand,
original case, B&L Tessar lens, and some other accessories.
They had no idea what it was. I have since gotten a 5x7 back
for it. Agfa sold these as deluxe 4x5 cameras with the
reducing back.
  It is one of my favorite cameras. Perhaps it likes having
a good home, it certainly has taken some wonderful pictures
:-)
