I posted this on another forum and it took a while for them to figure out what back I had. It was funny seeing some of the responses and some of them may see this also but we finally narrowed it down to the Graflex back. I now have 6 Graflex holders on the way so I can get this beast rolling.
Still looking for a Graphic or Graflok back so I can use my other newer holders
that my Crown View uses. No luck yet on ebay or craig's list. I don't want to pay big bucks for a new back but if something reasonable comes along I would grab it.
 
I have a pre-anny with a graflex back. Buy yourself a few bag mags. 12 shots each. I have ten holders for the graflex back (the ones with the groove down the sides). I usually use the bag mags (I have five of them) instead of the individual holders.
 
If you have the patience for the auction thingy, check out ebay seller canyonlandgraphics. They have spring backs and Graflok backs regularly. Do a search in the film camera - parts and repair category. Type in Graflex, and they will come up. You can expect to pay a premium for a Graflok. Everyone seems to want those. I consider them unnecessary. I also use bag mags with a Graflex back.
 
I found a bag mag on ebay which I am bidding on. It looks to be complete and in good shape with all the septums. If I win the bid I'll just have to figure out how it works.:confused:
 
Didn't win the bag mag but just won a Graphic spring back. I haven't received it yet but it looks like it will fit the Anni. I also bought 6 Graflex holders which fit the current back. Either way I'll be able to see what the Anni can do. Cool stuff!
I just love 4x5 cameras.
