Graflex restoration complete...

Here is the final look at the naked Graflex Speed Graphic Pacemaker restoration, it went from a pile of junk that had been scavenged for parts to something rather good looking and functional.

Take a look at the Crown Graphic I did in the same style. Its up for sale. Buy it here.

thats cool. this is a dumb question but are you able to find any film for it on ebay or photo trade sales or where ever? Are you able to get them developed if have found some film?

I ask cause I bought an old Kodak that uses 120 mm film and I bought some on ebay. I can get it developed but my local shops have to send it off and the cost is not worth it.

yeah, You can buy 4x5 film online or in photo labs, you can shoot instant film or 120mm film in it as well( with the appropriate film backs).

look online there are many processors online that you can ship your film to directly.

Thanks. I have a speed graphic all torn apart in a box. I need to put it together, buy a lens, lens board and bellows and put it all together. I refinished the wood a couple of years ago, but have been to intimidated/lazy to go farther. Thanks for the inspiration!
