Hi folks –

Does anyone know if the TGS replica red button will fit a vintage graflex?

I'm researching an ESB build, and while I'm willing to splurge on a vintage graflex flash handle, I'm not sure I want to drop another $100-200 on an extra vintage red button.

Thanks in advance for any help/advice...

if you take the one called "original threading", It should work but someone should confirm that. the other one will only fit a blade holder, my vintage graflex came modified as a lightsaber with the original red button as a spare part, I replaced the blade holder but another orginal black gut part and the replica red button doesn't fit anymore.

Replica button - fits. Thumbscrew button - goes into a blade holder when you get one.

Roman's red button fits an original Graflex, as I have one one mine.
Could be another option to consider.

Hey Jedisushi ! If you get a replica button, be sure to scratch a "R" or something on it underneath so that you can remember which one is the replica!
