What it is
{"overview":"The Rouch Eureka (focal plane) is a British plate camera fitted with a focal-plane shutter, a body type associated with early twentieth-century field and reportage use. With only one data point on record, today there is no reliable price band, and the value of any given Rouch Eureka focal-plane example will hinge heavily on completeness, shutter function and cosmetic condition.","buying_guide":"Focal-plane shutters of this era commonly suffer from pinholed or brittle rubberised cloth blinds, weak tensioning springs and inaccurate slit speeds, so test the shutter at all marked speeds before committing. Inspect the wooden body for shrinkage and loose joints, check the bellows (if fitted) for light leaks, and confirm the plate holders and ground glass are present, as missing accessories materially reduce what the camera sells for.

Questions
What should I check before buying one?
Test the focal-plane shutter at every speed for blind pinholes and accuracy, and confirm the plate holders, ground glass and any lens are present and original.
