hay all
I just got a BAD buy on a Century got most of my $$ back
It was listed as
Graflex Century Graphic Camera , f4.5 103mm Graflex Graftar Lens . I have no knowledge of these cameras and it is in found condition , shows some corrosion on the Kalart synchronized Range Finder. Camera looks to be in fair condition , the flex part is not torn or damaged.
NOW the only thing fair condition was the Bellows
the Graflok hoks clips for holding the ground glass in place 1 was gone
the other has one 1 rivet
the rangerfinder is trash
BUT the HATED 103mm lens Shutter did not work but looked good in side
SO I put it in my Ultrasonic with 50/50 water to Ammonia ran it for about 10 min. then a water wash then a Alcohol wash & dryed it good it work almost like New
SO now you can say all the shit about the Graftar that you wont
BUT the shutter is ease to clean up!!
I have 4 or 5 of this shutter & this is the first one I have had to cleaned up |
