Speed graphic pacemaker release plate screws

[ernie57]

Help! One of the tiny screws on the release plate on my Speed Graphic Pacemaker came out today and is lost. According to the diagram, it’s part #56 and it doesn’t give a size for the screw All it says is, “Screw-machine-special” Where in the world am I going to get a replacement? All ideas welcome. The shutter release is real shaky with only 1 screw holding it in place. Thanks!213813213814

You can post a WTB ad here, another option is to buy a junker parts camera, take what you need & re-sell the rest.

Take a look at zoro.com or McMaster-Carr. They have saved my bacon on stuff like this. You do have to know the size though.

Graflex screws are standard SAE sizes, so stock sizes...

ACE hardware stores are a good place to look, but may be differences in length (you can cut)...
