Toyo Super Graphic repair?

Does anyone know of a good place for repair <br>and parts for the Toyo Super

Graphic?

<br>

<br>I'm about to send off a Crown Super Speed to <br>Fred Lustig for

restoration, but I don't know a good place to send off a Toyo Super<br> which I

acquired (by impulse bid on the auction site)

<br><br>

The differences between the Graflex and Toyo are<br> mostly cosmetic and perhaps

metric vs english fasteners, correct? <br>

<br><br>

Emails to Toyo have gotten no response so far.

<br>

<br>It seems to work, but is missing a few things <br>like the wire frame peep

sight and could use a CLA since the rangefinder works, <br>but occasionally sticks.

Hi Bart,

Have you asked Fred about him repairing the Toyo Super Graphic? It might be worth a try to run it past him. I don't think that the Graflex/Toyo versions varied so much that he couldn't give the camera a good CLA. He might even have the wire frame peep sight or whatever is needed. For parts, if Fred doesn't have it then no one does, other than parts from cameras that are stripped down. He can probably get the rangefinder & electronics working again reliably; I know he did a first class job on my Super Speed a couple of years ago.

Good Luck.
