Although I am not familiar with the H. A. Hyatt view camera, I can tell you
that you can get the best replacement bellows from:

Camera Bellows	
Units 3-5, St. Paul's Road
Balsall Heath, Birmingham B12 8NG
England

Tel: 011-44-121 440 1695

And you can usually find ground glass from:

Stephen Shuart
Kane, Penn.	800 458-6092
inqueries 814 837-7786	
shufly@penn.com

And as to lens boards; if these wre wood, they are available from any
number of sources, including yours truly:

Robert L. Johnson
WITW Museum Services
PO Box 309
Chickamauga, GA 30707

or if they are metal, it is possible we can supply them as well. We would
need the front standard of the camera to do a really good fit. About $45-50
each, as a wild guess without actually seeing them.

All best,

Robert
