Hello all, been a few years since I last posted on here. I picked up a second pre-anniversary speed graphic at a flea market a few weeks ago. Rolling shutter works great and it has a 1930s Tessar Compur lens.

Both my pre-anniversary speed graphics are missing the wire hoop viewfinders. Anyone know where I can get replacements?

Hmmm.. for clarification your pre-anniversary speed graphic is a 4x5 and looks like this?

Correct. Here's my first one I posted on here a few years ago... 1939 Pre-Anniversary.

I don't have photos of the second Speed Graphic, but it has the same design... One focus knob, twin squeeze unlockers for the lens board (forgive my termology), etc.
