FS: Restored Speed Graphic

Anything to sell (WTS) or looking for anything specific (WTB)? Anything advertised on this forum comes with the usual "buyer beware" advice; it is up to the purchaser to assure themselves of the integrity of the supplier and item being sold. It is also the responsibility of the seller to ensure that payment is forthcoming before parting with said item.

FS: Restored Speed Graphic

I have just restored this Speed Graphic, a thread concerning the restoration can be found here: http://www.talkphotography.co.uk/forums ... p?t=345149

Price: £300 (Might be interested in trading for a 120 camera...)

The leather has been removed and the body sanded and varnished. The metal parts have been painted with a wrinkle paint and everything else has been polished. I have also included a new ground glass which I made as well as a new lens board.

The focal plane shutter does not work as the curtain is missing, it could be fixed as all of the parts are there. The rangefinder does not work either but is included in the sale.

The camera comes with a Kodak Anastigmat 105mm f4.5 which is perfect for landscapes but not much room for movements. All of the speeds sound correct but the rear element has some cleaning marks but these don't seem to effect the quality.
