Is it possible to put a Graflok back onto an Anniversary Speed Graphic that has a Graphic back on it? If so, is it fairly easy?

I want to be able to use a 3x4 polaroid back on the camera.

Regards

The backs interchange. I've done it on my 2x3 Speed, IIRC there are just four screws to unscrew and rescrew. The hard part is getting the Graflok back.

My 4x5 Anniversary Speed Graphic has had a Graflok back since 1956. They were readily available back then. This an advantage of the mahogany body on the Anniversary. The all metal Graflok back attaches with a half dozen wood screws into the wood.

My first pre-war Anny came with a Graflok-which I quickly switched out with a Crown.
No problem, screws right on.
