Thank you,Fred...made very interesting reading on a bleak & wet day in London.The flashgun has a lot going for it:full of idea's,it a piece of art in itself,is'nt it!.

Built like a tank unlike today's plastic jobs of electronic flash,this beauty is ready to take on the World even after all these years.

We will have to look for someone to blame for this weather condition-the media alway's seem to!

One big flash of the #2773 with the 7" reflector should brighten the place up...

By the way,was that REALLY the other style flashgun used in the original "Star Wars"?
If so,could'nt the props dept done better than that,instead of the Graphic being tarred with the name 'light *****'..
Been wanting to get this off my chest for a long time.

Be careful. Not a good idea to go there. Lots of hot feelings on that subject. I don't exactly understand your question, but if you're asking if the 2773 was used, the answer is NO - it was the 3 cell battery case for the Anniversary series that was "selected" fot that "honor". We [Graflex users] lost a lot of equipment to that fad.
