I have a Graflex 3 cell flash gun. What cord do I need to hook it to 1) The Bi-pole connection on the lens, and 2) the connection for the focal plane shutter/
Thanks

For a Graflex flash (the SW version) I THINK the center houseold conection on the flash does the same as the special 'ports' on either side. The bi-post on shutters is the same as the bi-post on the Mini speed (the pre-Anns and Anns don't have a flash sync)

So a Household to bi-post should work. You can find new ones at paramount http://www.paramountcords.com

If you have a Graflite flash (brushed aluminum) then I know the bipost to Hcord will work.

Just remember to use FP bulbs with that minipeed foca plane shutter. Normal M class bulbs will only give a partial image.

<blockquote>Hello Don,</blockquote>have you tried Paramount Cords? They make just about every kind of sync cord on the planet. I have a few of them including a household-to-solenoid, I think. Go to the link below and see if they can help.
