I recently acquired a box of old Crown Graphic parts, some I think are cams for the rangefinder. Is there any place I can view examples of cams for both side and top RFs to see if these are in fact cams? Thanks!! |

Side RF's do not use cams, Pacemakers and Supers do.

Super Speed Cams are much larger and have two holes in them. |

Thanks guys, I think I know what at least one of these are now. The cam I think I've identified is about 1-3/8" x 11/16" across the center, has two 1/4" holes in it and a "dimple" filled with green paint. The numbers on it are 36005-P156 which I think makes it a Super Graphic cam for the 380mm tele lens. Now if I could just figure out what the one with the hook on it is....... |
