Hi there,

I am looking for a part for a Crown Graphic with Graflok back. It's a little piece of metal that holds the GG and attaches to the sunshade. I can furnish a drawing if that's more helpful.

I suppose getting a whole new back might be more likely to yield results, so I am open to suggestions.

Thanks!

If they leave your post up, you'll get the widest exposure, but 'wanted' ads aren't officially allowed here.

You can put up an ad on the Graflexchange

Beyond making up something yourself, the best chance would be a focus panel that does not have a GG in it. They do come up often and usually don't go for too much.

One more piece of advice. Don't buy a complete "parts" camera. Every time I do that, I wind up investing into making it fully functional again... After buying many of them, I still don't own one :wink:

OK, thanks for pointing out Graflexchange!

It's very tempting to have two rather than one camera...

Cheers,

And if it were only that, there'd be little problem. Unfortunately, it's also very tempting to have 37 instead of 36... :eek:

Imagemaker, that's easy to justify

It's only a 3% increase, so you are just keeping up with the inflation rate ...
