This is awesome Scott, can't believe you finally did it.

Well done on completing the search. Saber looks beautiful.

I've always wondered where this seller gets his flashes from. Seeing his feedback, he dates back about 6 years of consistently selling Graflex 3-cells.

Best story I've ever read on the RPF!

Yes, read Scottjua's thread. Some key photo angles that would help are the end cap stamp, and the pin holding the bunny ears. I agree about the alignment on the Graflex word on clamp #3, but that just means the clamp itself is a replica.

Well done man! Always good to see a completed Graflex build, and a first one at that.

Also, the NB takes a single cell (less than 5.5V) battery only.

I actually don't remember but I do know that there was no rattling sound to bother me. It may have fallen out somewhere as I never did find that leftover piece. Maybe others can chime in here.

There's normally a hole where the beer tab used to be, what you see there is the broken off post. I just used a very small drill to drill through it (carefully) and it should fall out. Might be a good idea to tape around the hole again if you're doing this.

Wrong thread dude!

Wow, the battered grips look appropriate for that piece. It's like something you'd find in the archives at Skywalker Ranch. I never dared to rough up my grips like that though, given their cost. If you have the offcuts, you could do a glue test with the 2 cell bottom though. That's what I...

Hey, always love a Graflex build. I attached my Gino grips using loctite superglue. Rock solid. Before doing that, I also sanded the bottom of the grips so that they followed the contour of the flash better. The sanding also roughened up the area to help with the glue adhering. KhalDrogo...

This is one of the most civilized debates I've ever seen. Well played, gentlemen. And well done on your Graflex build. Brings me back to when I built mine, just last year. Me personally, I sanded the bubble strip so that it slid underneath the clamp. Only so that it stays in there and doesn't...

You NEED at least two... one ANH, one ESB.

Yeah, as another who has taken apart a Graflex, what Scott described is correct. Some parts that have been removed, will never be the same. Also, just because it came from ebay does not mean a hefty price. I've seen them go for $100 all the way up to $300. I'd be interested in a pic of the...
