Help removing grafmatic counter wheel

[wiggywag]

My grafmatic 4x5" holder disturbs my image area with a wheel leaving numbers of sequence on the negative. I don't need this. How do I remove it the proper way?

Thanks

With a hammer.

Okay, I've had my April 1 fun - check out this thread: (there was a url link here which no longer exists)

thanks,

so I just screw out the screws on the sides of the grafmatic and open the whole thing and there I'll find a screw to disconnect the wheel?

IIRC, there's a few screws around the perimeter of the body you have to remove, and then there's two screws that attach a plastic block that prevents you from removing the drawer from the body. Once you get it apart the disk is held down by a metal strap; you unscrew it, take the disk out, and then put everything back together in reverse order.

I have now managed to remove it. Wow, Apug rocks, it took me only a few minutes to get useful responses. Thanks a lot!
