Do you have date of introduction of any other flash equiptment, notably the Heiland/Sol and King Sol flashguns and the various mounting systems? Top |

Do you have a early Graflex flash you would be willing to part with? It would be going to a good home and would be used to educated the public about Combat Photographers and the work they did. Everytime I try chasing one on EBay I end up getting outbid by St*rW*rs boneheads. |

That's why, on the main board, there's a list of suggested vendors which sell Graflex equipment. You'll have to do your search elsewhere. Info queries are welcomed here. <font size=-1>[ This Message was edited by: alecj on 2004-06-28 15:22 ]</font> |

I know that the subject of Graflex flashguns is a sore one, and I know that there is a VERY strict no buy/sell policy on this site. It's your site, your rules, and I'll play by them. But sometimes I don't like them much. Top |
| alecj Joined: 09 May 2001 Posts: 853 | Posted: Tue Jun 29, 2004 1:40 pm Whoa, Top. It's not MY site. I'm only a visitor here, just like you. I don't make the rules. The goal here is to exchange information, not equipment. I fail to understand why following simple rules [NO SALES] is so hard. And, I don't believe I was rude [it certainly wasn't intentional]. Frankly, I thought HE was rather rude to put Les [who IS the moderator here] in that position, after Les had tried so hard to help him. It's not like that restriction isn't obvious. <font size=-1>[ This Message was edited by: alecj on 2004-06-29 06:52 ]</font> |

| DGeraths Joined: 10 May 2003 Posts: 37 | Posted: Wed Jun 30, 2004 1:55 am It is all moot at this point. About 5 minutes ago I won an EBay auction. The auction was for a 4x5 Speed Graphic in fair condition but need of some restoration. Not a problem, I have restored many of these. The description mentioned that the camera comes with four film holders and a flash with cord. That is as far the description goes on the flash. However, I could see in the photos that the flash was a Graflex with shield... I got the whole package for $68.00. Not bad...  |
