I have several cords that I am not sure what they connect to.l Cat. NO. 2808,2517 and 2260 + Singer Graflex Cat. # 2353 and 2251. I have several Graflex booklets but none of them have complete list of cords, plus I have searched the web looking for a complete list with images. Any ideas? I would really like some help. thank you |

You didn't describe it, but I suspect it is the 36" Expando-O-Cord for a bayonet shutter cord used with Kodak shutters - for Graphic View II. 2517 - 20" shutter cord for older Graflex battery cases w/ASA bi-post connection 2260 - Stroboflash adapter cord 2353 - Auto supply strob charger cord 2251 - Strop 350 & 500 7' coiled power cord (replacement) <font size=-1>[ This Message was edited by: alecj on 2005-08-10 19:23 ]</font> |

Maplin Electronics(U.K.)sell a connector that fits the 2 flash prongs on Graflex lenses allowing electronic flash to be used. (Item-Battery connector-JG05-Race Pk-Lead:Female)-cost around $4. The connector has two 6"trailing leads that can be soldered to a spare flash connector lead. Hope this is useful to all Graflex-oholics. <font size=-1>[ This Message was edited by: 617upkeep2 on 2005-12-10 15:10 ]</font> |

Over here I've been buying the Graphex dual prong shutter synch cords from http://www.paramountcords.com at +/-$20 a pop. They *are* well made, though, and suspect with int'l postage, customs duties, etc., your brand would end up costing as much or more over here, with hassle. |
