It needed a cleaning, but the shutter is intact and working. I have downloaded the manual so I know all the parts on the camera, except one. Between the rb release plunger and the mirror setting lever there is a small item that I can't find in any manual. It is held on by 2 screws and is about 1/4 inch in diameter and height. There seems to be a button that rotates in the sleeve. Does anyone have an idea what this is, and how it is used? If I can figure out how to upload an image on this site, I will.

Good thought, but ... My post-WW II 2x3 RB Ser. B has no flash terminal. This https://www.cameramanuals.org/pdf_files/graflex_series_b.pdf older user manual doesn't mention flash, shows no flash terminal. This https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KJ_GupEFyFQ video, likewise. | ||
