I have an old 1939 Graflex Miniature Speed Graphic in 2 /14 x 3 ¼ that I am setting set up into a fully functional camera. I have almost everything complete, except a few odd parts and cables.

I am looking for a Solenoid mounting bracket, and two cables, (an S-17 and an A20). The cables will more than likely need to be a reproduction order from Paramount Cables as the original cables typically crack and break easily after years of unattended storage.

I have included a picture of the bracket in question. Unfortunately I do not have the Graflex part number.

If you have one of these, or point me in the direction of either the part number, or the part itself, I would be eternally grateful.


An image of the bracket from the manual that came with the camera


A front view of eh camera's actual lens board with tape measure


An image of the solenoid with tape measure


The camera itself, almost ready for field trials


Any help is greatly appreciated
