Wista 45 Graflok Back

[Bob Salomon]

Can you disassemble the back from the camera and replace it with any graflok back? If so it may be possible to find an old graflok back for speedgraphics and just mount it that way. Im sure your never going back to the 6x9 setup once it is done.

Yes, it slips right off by releasing 4 tabs and then only accepts the metal Wista 45 backl

I replaced my old original non graflok back on my anniversary speedgraphic with a generic graflok back. It took a total of 5 small screws to be directly screwed into the back of the camera and now it works fine. It looks like a singer generic brand. I had to screw in the back manually but since my camera was pretty inexpensive I didn't mind modifying. Backs like these was pretty inexpensive 5 years ago but nowdays there are many who are in demand of these and so the prices are going up.

Not possible. The Wista metal bodies are eccentric to there own backs.
