The Rapax was made by Wollensak, was rebadged Graphex when used on Graphic Press cameras, the Raptar lens was rebadged Optar.
Download the Graphex factory service manual here: http://www.southbristolviews.com/pics/Graphic/manual-pdf/GraphexShutterService.pdf
The assembly instructions for the #1 shutter is incorrect sequence but the sequence for the #2/#3 shutter is correct and applicable to the #1 by skipping the steps for parts not used in the #1 shutter.
Been there, done that a few times with success. Its not a hard shutter to service.

Thank you Parker Smith and biggreydog for the repair shops. Thank you shutterfinger for the link for the service manual. . I'll study the service manual and then decide if I dare tackle the repair myself or call one or both shops to see what they say. .

Please don't make the man in Fort Worth mad by calling it fat worth. It is actually called Fot Wuth to those of us who speak the language. It is good to know of a camera repair company in "where the pavement ends and the West begins, beautiful Fort Worth". They have a great zoo there as well as a Botanical Garden, not to mention some world-class museums..........Regard
