What's wrong with it? Those old Graflex focal plane shutters are pretty easy to fix by yourself. The only hard part is if they need new parts, in which case I'd browse the photography forums and eBay. They're no where near as delicate or complicated as leaf shutters.

I am on vacation now, but when I get back I can email a Word document on repair and a Word document on building a new shutter from Bert Sanders a Graphic and Graflex repairman for 26 years. He has passed on, but I have his instructions which I edited for clarity.

 

[shutterfinger]

Its in my possession for repair.

 

[Sirius Glass]

Then it is in good hands.

Hi Sirius, could you also send those documents to me (tigernakol@gmail.com) too?

There is also Jerry Gordon at Graflex Garage who works on these if you are so inclined. He rebuilt a bag bellows for my Series D 4x5 and did a great job.

He is also a member here by the handle @Graflex Garage.

Welcome to Photrio!

I will have to look. I will have to look to see if I still have that information.

Instead of email, send PMs [Private Message].

@Sirius Glass - they won't yet have the ability to initiate a Private message.
But you can send one to them, and they can participate thereafter.
