2X3 "BABY" CROWN GRAPHIC W/SCHNEIDER 105MMF4.5 XENAR & GRAFLOK BACK

Description

Nice condition Graflex "Baby" Crown Graphic in 2-3/4 x 3-1/4 (aka 2x3) image size with Schneider 105mm f4.5 lens in Prontor-Press shutter, standard and wide angle standard rail stops and Graflok back as shown.
The lens and shutter are excellent, glass is very clear, coatings are fine, but of course the few bits of dust. Shutter runs off fine at all speeds (1-125/B/T).
Bellows passes the flashlight test. Rangefinder spot is very dim but usable if you pick the right subject, we took a peek under the rangefinder cover and we see the silvering is basically gone on the diagonal mirror and a previous owner has placed a bit of yellow gelatin filter over the prism to help delineate the rangefinder spot but it doesn't help much. That all being said the rangefinder, groundglass and distance scale all agree at infinity.
Also because of the Prontor-Press shutter the body shutter release would not work (not enough travel) and apparently a previous owner removed the connector due to interference with getting your finger on the shutter release.
You should note the Kalart rangefinder common on Graphics is easily accessible (four screws to remove the cover) and adjustable as there are many procedures to be found on the internet addressing it. Try graflex dot org for one.
