I just acquired a couple of these: pretty slick device with 6 metal dividers that apparently cycle through internally as the user cycles the dark slide, and numbers ea exposure as well. Trouble is, I have no clue how to load the darn thing - is there a manual somewhere other than a landfill at this point, or does someone know how and can walk me through it? Thanks.

I think graflex.org has the loading instructions; certainly a search of the internet will yield a few results.

Look at John Clifford's response. I've used all of the grafmatics including the old leather bag type. I would take me at least 500 words to tell you what the graflex.org address could show you in 3 minutes.

I'm suprised Eddie didn't chime in for his video: Grafmatic Eddie Gunks video (http://www.largeformatphotography.info/forum/showthread.php?85039-Grafmatic-Eddie-Gunks-video)
