Hello,

I was wondering if anyone has any experience repairing the graflex 23 holder with the wind knob? I tried to get it open on the film wind side and can't figure out how to get the knob off! So the first question is how do I do that?

The holder sometimes overlaps film frames, so I'd like to do a CLA on the gears. I've just never done that before, any help would be appreciated!

Wonderful information, thank you for the swift reply. I see there are pictures to go along with the instructions, but they don't show. Can they still be accessed?
