Speed Graphic focusing cam

Hi all!

I'm new to APUG so please bear with me

I have a Speed Graphic Pacemaker the one with the top mounted rangefinder with the light up focusing aid and a 7 inch (178mm) f/2.5 Ektar Aero.

I would like to know if any of you out there might have one these focusing cams for sale to properly match my Pacemaker and lens.

If not is there any one out there who might custom cut and grind one of these things.

I do know that I could use the ground glass, but this would speed things up.

Email me if you like georgeflee@hawaiiantel.net

Aloha,

George

The Aero was never intended for a Graphic, and never supported by Graflex. All you would need to make a cam is a collimator, a machine shop, and time to learn how to do it. Better you should find a nice SIDE rfdr camera, and then you might be able to set it up for the lens: it doesn't need a cam; the process should be described someplace at graflex.org

Graflex cam part number #88 works with a 177.8mm lens. I'd look for that one.

If you can't find one you can make one also.

Cool. Happy hunting.

And my pal-the-Graflex-Wiz corrects me, saying that Graflex made the tube to mount the Aero... back in the days of the side rfdr.

Thanks all, will let y'all know the outcome.
