The short track on the bed at the back keeps popping out of its slot because the lip of the slot has broken off. I cannot repair this myself and I hope there is someone who works on these cameras. The camera could also do with a good cleaning. Can anyone recommend someone? Thanks Geraldine | ||

I'm going to be traveling to India as part of my new job and would like to take my Graflex with me. | ||

That being said, can anyone recommend someone who can work on Combat Graphic shutters, both the focal plane and supermatic (aka Graphic 45, circa 1944)? The good news is that everything works, nothing is bent, lens is clear, no obvious oil on the blades and both shutters cock and release. Altogether it's amazing how well something nearly 70 years old holds up. | ||
