I am in the process of re-building a Anniversary Speed Graphic which is missing the focal plane shutter release lever.

I contacted Fred, the guy who services these old puppies but he didn't know what I was referring to and wanted me to send my Anny to his shop. I gave up, given that I can probably find alternative solutions, plus the shop is down for the next month.

I don't want to part out another Graphic just for the lever and wondering if there are any spares floating around? I was also contemplating on making one out of a beer bottle cap. The only problem I have here is I cannot use a remote shutter cable. Most of my shots are taken with my Anny mounted on top of my telescope taking astro-photos.

Off Topic - I'm also replacing the bad black leather and replacing it with a yellow colored leather. I shall have a bumble bee when I'm done.
