For Sale FS: Graflex Top RF Crown Graphic

[Fotoguy20d]

For sale, a Top Rangefinder Crown Graphic, serial number 9476xx. This one is ex-NY State Police. It's ready to use just as is, but not without its issues. I'll get those out of the way first - the Ground Glass panel is cracked, the Optar has some scratches. The good is a much longer list. The shutter seems to be working quite well - T & B are as they should. 1 second seems right, and the rest progress from there. The shutter has the button to open it for focusing. The battery cover is present. The little wooden block to keep the cover there is also present. The contacts are clean. But, I havent tried the focusspot. The rangefinder works and seems to be well adjusted (although I didnt look at the cam to make sure its the right one, not that I know which is the right one for an Optar). I checked the bellows with a LED headlamp and they are light tight. The rails are in good shape and move smoothly. The board was modified to add a flash sync (the wires are hidden on the back under electrical tape) but I havent tested it. More photos here.

$225 net to me. USPS Priority shipping + insurance

Thanks,
Dan
