[LargeFormat] 5x7 Graflex...

[Ken Hough]

I have four 5x7 Graflex's. The one with the best shutter got the 
following: 
Roller bearings on all rotating shutter parts.
A  6.8 Dagor
A front surface mirror
A shock absorber for the mirror. It prevents the bounce when hand 
holding it.
A frensel viewing screen.
New leather on the bag mag. 
This is one slick working camera.

Hi Ole!

        I've just bought a Graflex 5x7 single lens reflex camera:

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=2969297697&category
=11720

     It looks like the back takes 5x7 film holders and not the 
earlier
     plates.  I
hope the
groundglass back is there, it kind of looks like it, but hard to 
tell.

     Any help on this appreciated!   Isn't another list member
     restoring one of
these
large 5x7 Graflexes?

Thanks!
