For Sale FS: Speed Graphic $50

Pre-Anniversary Speed Graphic - $50 without lens, or $100 with lens.
Good camera for parts, or project.

Focal plane shutter working well, except at very lowest tension (1) and T to O setting where it is slow to complete.

Bellows in good shape without light leaks. Missing viewfinder, rangefinder looks intact, but untested. Has infinity stops and focusing mechanism works smoothly. Some of the body trim is a bit worn/ragged.

Focusing panel with ground glass and cover is included. It slides off. There is no spring back. I think this was used with some type of 2x3 film back.

Lens is an 135mm F4.7 Optar in good working Rapax shutter.

$50 plus shipping for camera without lens.
Add $50 if you also want the lens & lensboard.
I can take paypal. Send a Private Message with any questions.

Just to clarify: there is no spring back, no graflock back. It doesn't take regular 4x5 film holders. There are two fixed rails under which the focusing panel slides. I think it must have been modified to fit some sort of slide in roll film back. On the other hand, if you happen to have a spring back with the standard 5 mounting holes, you could swap out the backs and have a nice focal plane shutter camera to use with barrel lenses. Additionally, the pre-anniversary model is supposed to be easily modified for front movements.
