Ah. Backward tilt on the front standard... Hence why folks reverse the front standard on Pacemaker cameras, to get forward tilt without dropping the bed...

And yes, as I recall, my Annie has about a half inch either way of front shift.

I was in a similar situation to yours and I stumbled upon a Super Graphic (Not a Super Speed Graphic). It is heavier than the other Graflex press camera but has the most movements. I used mine as a field camera for a long time. I still have it, just in case. I also had a Graflex View Camera (Graflex II)but found it heavy and awkward. The Super Graphic is a great compromise.

I ended up getting a Pacemaker Speed in really great condition with a nice 127mm Graphic lens, restored case, unmolested light saber and accurate sounding film plane shutter. About $350.
