Thanks for testing this out ... were you also keeping the inner tab in mind? I was referencing the one in fig 4 (attached).

Interesting. Are you saying you load the septums without pushing the tab (see fig 4) up into the body, as I had neglected to do?
Does the red dot ever go off for you? I wonder what this might do...
To answer my own question - it seems red dot on initial loading of Grafmatic is not correct.
I neglected to push in the tab (fig 4) inside and at the top of the cartridge. I decided to double...
I recently loaded a Grafmatic and don't recall if it's normal for the red dot indicator to be on, on the initial loading?
I set the dial to 1, pressed in the lever and pulled the cartridge out,...
I bought some Adox Rodinal from Adorama recently and they shipped it to me. I think it cost a bit more to ship.
I looked around beforehand, most places were out, B & H wouldn't ship it.
I...
I have considered this but would prefer a new one for now. The existing flange is somewhat beat up and has some serious glue/epoxy residue on it.
I recently acquired a f/7.7 203mm Ektar on a modified Pacemaker board with flange installed. I'm not 100% happy with how it's mounted.
The lens is in a "Kodak" "Flash Supermatic" shutter or #1...
Thanks all for the info!
Thanks for that info re: the staked posts.
I was referring to the top right adjustment nut (the one that holds the shutter actuator assembly). I wonder if there is a proper way to remove the nut...
Thanks for the info and thoughts about my yoke hopefully being undamaged!
Maybe the index pins are screwed into the guide bottoms?
Do you also loosen the front yoke guides when installing and...
My rear yoke guides failed due to user error. I think they must have been a little loose and/or I tried to drop or close the front door when the rails were extended.
I'm wondering if these guides...
Thanks for the info! Is this documented in the manual? I can't seem to find it here: https://graflex.org/manuals/45-Pacemaker-Speed-and-Crown-Graphic.pdf
I just replaced my ground glass and...
I bought a boatload of FUJI PRO 6 chemistry several years ago (the gold standard of E-6) and only ever developed twice.
It cost around $640, but was magic to see my own amazing chromes developed...
It seemed fine, but I don't think their reputation is on par with LTI.
It turns out LTI wasn't getting enough E-6 volume to maintain their line effectively. Something to do with densitometer readings, according to an LTI owner I spoke to.
The roll of E-6 I took to...
My favorite lab LTI said they no longer process E-6 as of yesterday. What a bummer. Their E-6 was as good as their C-41, which I feel is the best.
They recommended a place on w22nd St next to...
Here's one of the exposures, not the greatest, but the lens does focus!
Was back lit and I was trying to flash meter with a Packard shutter that has a sync cable - I set the meter to 1/30th, f/4,...
Apparently it's a triplet (Tessar type). It was assembled incorrectly and now focuses! A lens expert friend sorted it out for me today. He thought it would likely be highly uncorrected. I shot 2...
I experience mostly with roll film, but also with sheets, much less frequently, and it's usually self correcting (e.g. it eventually dries flat).
Apparently humidity, and temperature, as well as...
How do labs get film to dry so flat?
When I hang mine with clips from a shower rod, it tends to want to curl. Is it having a film drying cabinet, temperature, or something in the washing.
...
Don't forget, shoot for the negative at 25 ISO.
Get some Kodak hypo clearing agent to clear the negative.
You can do this in a shallow bowl or Tupperware until the blueish stuff dissipates,...
I finally got around to mounting the 18" lens, turret to 8" Deardorff board, unfortunately I couldn't get it to focus very sharp.
The turret allows for fine focusing of the lens, though I'm not...
I also wanted to do RA-4 printing of enlarged C-41 negatives. I tried with drums first too, and while it was very cool to get something resembling a print, it was also very time consuming, and for...
Unless there is something wrong with the exposure or processing, D-76 1:1 is my first choice with HP5+.
I'm thinking about trying the technique to get better prints,
though I've read - prints from well exposed and processed negatives shouldn't require it ... might they still benefit from it?
...
Thanks everyone for the info, I made some prints a few days ago and the paper was fine.

I bought a 100 sheet box on ebay, I am now told is from 2010, at an about 35% discount from new, and am wondering if it should still be good?
I know that will depend on how it's been stored, (I am...
I've called Omega-Brandess in the recent past for CP-31 parts, and they haven't yet had a what I needed; they do look in their computer, and ask for a part number, I give what's in the parts...
Thanks for the info, I think you mentioned before you put the tape on the outside plastic edges and not on the glass?
This sounds like a good method, but definitely will take some time and lots...
Have you checked this video?

Not sure if that was a reply to me, but ... my film area guide has a bit of play all around in it, more than the tolerances of getting all the film borders each time, I was referring to wet mounting...
Not sure how much of a bargain IP film is ... especially if they recommend scanning it right away (as the image apparently is unstable). Is that still true?
I contacted Omega, Joboman, and a guy named Gregory, one of them recommended finding the number on the part and looking for a suitable replacement online, maybe at Mouser Electronics, but no one had...
On an Epson 4990 or V700 - does anyone know how to position an 8x10 negative so that all borders show in preview and scan?
I've tried to find some method, but mostly have been unsuccessful. It...
Can anyone familiar with the unit suggest how to fix (or replace) one of the two paper sensors?
Good to know, thanks!
Thanks for the info, I just want to find a way to make sure the replenishment I am adding isn't what's overflowing; the tubes in the front are drain tubes, I think the rear tubes are for using the...
The machine has been working very nicely.
I don't have a replenishment unit yet and have been adding it manually, which is a drag, and, I am not sure it (or some of it) just doesn't overflow.
...
I was able to repair the riser which connects to the WD shower rod by inserting a brass hose nipple, wrapped in Teflon tape (because it was slightly too loose) inserting between the broken pipe and...
Wow, great info! I need to read up.
Seems like the only real issue I have other than a few missing screws is the broken spray rod connector on the WD module.
The drive for the WD module seems...
