jim_britt1 Posted October 24, 2005 Author Share Posted October 24, 2005 the age of the lens and some info on Graflex.org lead me to believe it's a 1959 camera and lens. thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jon_wilson Posted October 24, 2005 Share Posted October 24, 2005 As to having your shutter repaired, I highly recommend Carol Miller at Fluto's camera repair. <flutoscamera@earthlink.net> She does an excellent job, at a fair price, with excellent communications. I have probably sent a dozen shutter to her for repair and/or CLA's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dan_fromm1 Posted October 24, 2005 Share Posted October 24, 2005 Jon, phonetic spelling will kill you nearly every time. The lady's name is Carol Flutot Miller. The site is www.flutotscamerarepair.com Drop the "t" and you're in trouble. I know, I know, you got away with getting the "h" out of your name.

jon_wilson Posted October 24, 2005 Share Posted October 24, 2005 Dan-- Actually my Mommy said I had too much "h" in me when I was born or was it we were just too poor to afford an "h" with 4 boys. In either event, Carol is a true "gem" in her field. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
micah_henry Posted October 25, 2005 Share Posted October 25, 2005 Jon, Thanks for the link! sounds like just the place to send the old 135mm Zeiss lens in dial-set Compur shutter which my '39 Speed came with. --Micah in NC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
