Hi to all out there-I just bought my second Graflex, the first having developed terminal pinholitis. My "new" one is a Crown Graphic with a Graphic Synchro-Compur Ektar 203mm and rh-10 roll back. I dated the lens to '59 with info from this site. The camera serial # is 950070-any idea when it was made?
Thanks for any help

Near the bottom of the "Graflex.org Forum Index" there is a forum named "Serial Number Savy". There is a post by Shutterfinger titled "Not the serial number book...But" that has many serial numbers coupled with dates.
One listing there is "950508 Crown - 1963" not far from your number.

What is terminal pinholeitis????
If you mean that the bellows developed a bunch of pin holes then fix it using one of the many tried and proven repair methods posted on this site.
just use Search->bellows repair->all the terms checkbox selected=60 results.
