Graflex Crown Graphic 4x5 Camera w/ Kodak Ektar f:4.7 127mm Supermatic Shutter

Description: HOO BOY! This guy was practically stuck shut, for who knows how long! I could only PRY it open with a standard screwdriver lodged under the knob on the same side as the shutter button! This camera was found amongst decade + untouched clutter in a ziploc bag. The outer casing is a MESS! But the inside, looks almost pristine as a result. The case did its job in protecting its innards well, in my opinion. Those bellows almost look new! There are a few hints of dust here and there, but compared to what it’s been through, this turnout seems like a near miracle!🤣 This is one of the few cameras owned where the shutter button actually works when pressed. There are also the options of pressing the second button right above the release lever, and again directly with the lever itself. I’ve mostly tested the shutter on B, but other settings worked just fine as well! Only a couple times did the cocking knob need light coaxing back into place after the shutter were released. This camera looks fantastic, on the inside. There appears to be papered numbers for the aperture variations; I’ve no idea if they’re supposed to be there or were added by my dad. Being sold as-is! Again, this camera needed to be delicately FORCED open, and only from on that particular side the shutter button is on. I was afraid I’d break something when trying to do it from the opposite knob, so I wouldn’t recommend going that route!🤣 Please take wonderful care of this guy, and offer a new home full of use!
