Graflex Magazine

[christopher_ward2]

<p>I had my Graflex RB Series B camera out last weekend. The leather of the Bag Magazine has some holes. Last time I used it the film back worked fine ...not this time. Seems the cloth liner now also has a rip and leaks badly. The web wants to sell me other film magazines but I can find no Graflex repair listings for these backs.<br>

Any Graflex SLR users know of a repair person for the leather/cloth of the Bag Magazine? I have two 4x5-12 and one 4x5-18 to be checked/fixed.<br>

<p>Ask around at Graflex.org.</p>

<p>The man's name was Fred Lustig in Reno, Nevada. Not sure if he's still doing repairs or not.</p>

<p>Mr. Lustig is 90+ years old if he is still around.</p>

<p>The Bag Magazine is of fairly simple construction. I have patched them in the past.<br>

Remove the screws on the bag end and separate the bag from the case.<br>

A leather fabricator or upholstery shop should be able to make one for you or pick up some leather and fabric and do it yourself. Use the existing ones as a template. The seams can be sewn or bonded.</p>

<p>Thank you all. I will disassemble the torn bag and see if my crafting skills can repair/replace it. My hope is that the end product dose not resemble a 4th grade 'art' project.<br>
