Thank you all very much!
I have to thank Scott Bilotta ( http://www.vintagephoto.tv/) without whose support the project would have been impossible to complete. He sent me a geniune Curtis holder...

Hello, guys, i've recently finished my most difficult project. This is a Curtis Color-Scout 4x5 fully restored with custom made dichroic beamsplitters. I thought it might be of some interest for you....
Hello!
I've recently finished my year-long project. This is Curtis Color Scout 4x5 restored with dichroic beamsplitters. Works fine. ...
Nice little monster! Do you have troubles getting it focused via rangefinder?
Hello!
Can you provide some photos of the pieces? Folmer shutter which graflexes were equipped with is the easiest thing to reassemble and adjust given that you have all the pieces. They are...
Hello! That wasn't me actually :D I didn't sell any bags on ebay yet. My only service listing on ebay is https://www.ebay.com/itm/233731624018 (yes i do restore shutter curtains!).
I didnt have an...
Hello,
In terms of storage shutter speed doesn't mean a thing. I can only advise to avoid storing your shutter cocked, especially at highest spring tension (usually 1/500 or 1/400). In older...
Great! Guess i saw it on ebay, but seller wouldnt answer me for some reason.
5x7 is big indeed. It is sad they do not make 3x4 film anymore. I'm about to write another DIY manual about making a...
Thanks! I've re-uploaded them.
I will also upload a 4x5 template soon. Would be great if other people added templates for 5x7 and 2x3.
The forum resctrictions only allow me to post 4 attachments at a time so i have to use another post.

Ok, sorry, i got you wrong. Nice to know people still use 3x4. I personally too prefer my 3x4 Super D.
Hello,
I guess your got the description of the "Drop curtain" wrong. Mirror does not close the exposing aperture, it opens it. , and fter the mirror is all the way up the shutter is closed (which...
Hello! I cant see any other part missing since the focusing hood is opened, but i can see that both ground glass holders are present, so you wount have any problem installing a new glass. Replacing a...
Ofc it is only relatable if you do have shaking camera problem. If your primary promlem is a loud shutter sound i have to discourage you. Any Graflex is by no means a silent camera, hoever, shaking...

It's pretty easy. There is a large lid fastened with 3 screws on a left side of your camera. Unscrew 2 screws, then press the lid down really firmly and unscrew the last one. Slighlty...
Hello,
pretty often during repair a mirror spring is overtensioned, which causes the mirror assembly to hit the camera really hard. The tension must be such that is barely just sufficient to release...
