Description: DESCRIPTION – Vintage Graflex R.B. Series B 2 ¼ x 3 ¼ camera with the desirable 127mm f/4.5 Kodak Ektar Lens and Graphic 23 Roll film holder for 120 film. The camera and lens are very clean. If you want to use the focal plane shutter, the shutter needs servicing to operate properly. You could replace the lens with a shuttered model and leave the focal plane shutter wide open. Camera Serial Number: 443497. Lens Serial Number: ES2603. SERVICE REQUIRED – The shutter will easily cock through all available settings - from 1.5 inch to 1/8th inch openings. When fired, mirror quickly flips up, but the curtains will only slightly move. The shutter tension is too weak even when the highest speed setting (Setting 6) is selected. I suspect that the shutter needs lubrication, a tension adjustment, and possibly a new or increased tension on the cocking lever spring in the shutter selector side plate. Please look at YouTube titled: Repairing a Shutter Jam on an R.B. Graflex - Series D 4x5 SLR. This camera is acting the same way except the shutter curtain on this camera will only slightly move – needs lubrication and tension. SHUTTER CURTAIN – Each section of the focal plan shutter was “bright light tested” in a dark room. No light leaks were detected.
