Bought a beautiful Graflex Super Graphic sn 645654. But missing the upper and lower connecting arms for the focusing screen assembly. I've tried for a day to find them, but no luck. I have checked the parts sources listed on Graflex.org with no luck. Part numbers 36079-G1 and 36079-G2. Attached is a link to a PDF that clearly shows what it needs.

Thanks in advance, Kip......

Watch ebay and be patient a complete focus panel or the arms will eventually show up. Installation is a PITA. You have to lift up the outer end of the spring, slide the arm in then release the spring ensuring it rests on the flat of the arm.

Right. I'm putting a "favorite watch" in eBay now so I'll get notified.

I just got involved with Graflex last week- so far, seems these parts are pretty scarce. I bought the camera on eBay for $180 on speculation that the part would be easier to find. Still happy: it is a very nice camera and another example of how there was a time when we were master craftsmen and manufacturers here in the US. My serial number research on the date came up with 1957-8- it's in incredible shape for something 64 years old.

645654 is in the middle of the second batch of Super Graphics listed in 1958.

Am I correct that only a Super Graphic back- or Super Speed Graphic back will have the correct parts?

Yes. The only difference between the two is the name plate. The Super Speed came with a Graphic 1000 shutter, the Super didn't.
