It came with this box and I have a back with a glass plate. I took it off to clean. It has a 4x5 plate back. 120 film backing. Packs of 4x5 film. And all in the box.

Am I better off selling it as parts to get a better camera?
Not yet! Can you post a picture of the back opened up? We are looking for a functional, film holding back with ground glass.Originally Posted by kayla.shay208
Perfectly good pictures have been made with cameras that are downright ugly.
One really good resource would be "shutterfinger" on APUG. He is also known as PSS45 on graflex.org. He is a wealth of information on all things graflex.
It looks as if your camera doesn't have a back. Not good, but there are those of us who have parts aplenty floating in our "junk boxes". Good luck with your camera.

What I'm seeing there is a roll film back that I don't believe is 4x5 and a pack film back that would be able to use those film packs if the film is still any good. Either of those will mount to the Graflok, if present... but that is not present in the pics. They weren't invented at the time of the Anniversary Graphic (which this is) and would have had to be retrofit at a later date. But I don't see a film back that will allow you to use regular film holders. What do you have that has ground glass in it? A pic of htat and a better pic of the back of the camera would go a long way in helping us help you.
This - - and it looks cool too
that's a graflex/spring back, not graflok. Unless you really want a basketcase project, I'd unload it and start with something better/newer. The film is probably hopelessly fogged too. A good pacemaker speed, fully functioning and in nice shape should be $400-ish +/-
So sell it all.
