[LargeFormat] 5x7 Press Graflex

[Jim Hemenway]

Hi Rich:

I had my 4x5 Super D Graphlex rebuilt by Steve Grimes just a few months 
before he died... and my understanding is that Fred Lustig in Nevada has 
suffered a stroke.

So... I don't know who to recommend except to say that Mike Zack in 
Providence did a great job recently on a 2x3 Speed Graphic, which I had 
purchased bent and non-working at a flea market.  This included 
straightening out the front standard, fixing a very badly mangled 
rangefinder, and cleaning and adjusting the front Kodak made shutter. I 
don't know if he'll do a Graphlex... you might want to call him.

Zacks Camera Repair - We do the impossible.
791 Hope Street Providence, RI 02906

The only thing that I can find wrong with Mike is that he's one of those 
misguided Republicans.
