I have 2 Graflex speed graphic cameras that belonged to a friend that passed away I am going to try to sell them on ebay for his wife.
For the life of me I can't figure out how to open them. There must be a release somewhere but I can't find it. Any help would be appreciated

There should be a bump top center at the front or at the upper left corner at the front. Which location depends on the camera's vintage. Press the bump and the catch should release.

Releases are in one of two places. In each case it's a bump under the leatherette

On the top near the front center

or

the front left corner of the side with the handle on it.


In the off chance they are Super Speeds, then rotate the focus knobs up.
