I have a Super Speed Graphic and would like to replace the bellows since they are showing some wear. I have access to some bellows from a Speed Graphic and would like to know if they are interchangable with the Super Speed Graphic.

Hello,

Super Graphic and Super Speed Graphic bellows have internal wiring for the electronic shutter release and flash. The Pacemaker Graphics did not have any wiring as the shutter release was mechanical. However, the bellows may be interchangable as far as size.

The correct bellows(with electronic wiring) are available through Stephen Shuart in PA for $105 new. His number is 800-458-6092. His website is: http://www.stephenshuart.com

I had to replace the bellows on my Super Speed Graphic back in 1980. The flash wouldn't fire. W. D. Service (out of business) said the internal wiring was at fault and the bellows would have to be replaced. They warned me that full extension (or more) of the bellows can stretch the wires to the point that they'll snap. So, if you decide to replace them, keep this precaution in mind. Good luck!
