I am making a Graflok back for my miniature speed graphic and i am now almost finished, the thing stopping me now is finding bolts to hold the sliders in place, does anyone have any suggestions where i could get some?
Also looking for the small springs that go under the sliders.... Anyone have an old XL back they dont want?
Any advice would be appreciated

The tech term is shoulder screws. I'd check smallparts.com or a local screw distributor.

Of course there's always the odd Graphic that got hit by truck.

I'm looking for a rear focusing glass for a Busch Pressman model C 2x3 camera.

lunaaron, you're in New York, check around for model railroad hobby shops. Good ones will have a variety of small machine screws/nuts (not to be confused with the customers!) in sizes appropriate to the task you are doing. Take your camera along and try different ones until you find ones that work.

Thanks for the advice, Anyone out there had a a camera back meet with an unfortunate accident? I could be interested in picking over the mangled wreckage.

I dont want to sound unfriendly but if you need a new glass why dont you post your own topic instead of burying it in my thread? you'd probably get more replys

The owner of this firm posts on the board. I have used his ground glass on my Century Graphic 2x3 and can vouch for the high quality. And the price is certainly reasonable.
