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.

He has contacted me and I am putting together several focal plane repair documents.
