On the graflex (RB series B), and I assume on the speed graphics, there is a focal plane shutter wind up knob (handle) - that's the upper one, which is held on with a tiny tapered pin. While removing parts for repair, I was unable to get the pin out and finally drilled and ground it to get it loose. So now I need a new pin. These things are about 1/3 the size of what the local <b>good</b> hardware store sells. Anyone have a source or an alternative?

Fred Lustig purchased the remaining inventory of WD service, which was the last remainin vestage of Graflex. (Western Div Service) do a search in the helpboard for his phone. No email.

Hobby shop for brass round stock---cut to length + about 1/4"---chuck it up in a drill---sharp file a a bit of patience will make dozens of them---trial and error for proper fit! Bert
