I have a late 50s/early 60s Crown Graphic 4x5 that seems to have either had its rangefinder removed or was shipped without the inner workings. The housing and viewing finders for it are there, just nothing inside. The camera technician in town who works on Graphics and discovered this odd state of affairs (I took it in to have the rf fixed) said he would be reluctant to try and install a rangefinder in a camera that age. Is he right? Should I just resign myself to having a field camera or should I look for someone who can possibly do this repair? The camera is otherwise in" like-new-plus-plus-plus" condition. Any advice welcome! Thanks.

Top or side rangefinder? Fred Lustig in Reno can take care of it. Search this site for his info.
