I've recently picked up a "post war" Speed
Graphic 4X5 and in trying to work the shutters
I'm finding that I can't get the slide switch
that selects either
the front lens shutter or rear curtain
shutter to work. It seems to be stuck on
the rear curtain position (as that's all that
works), but yet it is lined up with the front
position mark. Anyone got any ideas as to
how to remedy this or maybe I'm doing something
wrong. Any ideas? Also, are there any known
home remedies for repairing small pin holes
in the bellows that anyone may be aware of?
I've got about three in mine that need this.
I'm sure I will have to have them replaced.
Does anyone have any idea how much it would
cost to have the bellows replaced and who
could do this for me?
Sorry for so many questions, but I'm running
into quite a few problems with this ole mama
I just bought and I'm anxious to start taking
pitures with it.
Thanks to all,
Ron
