I have a baby Speed Graphic that needs refreshing. Who is good at working on these?

Try Graham at graflexparts.com
Frank at cameradoctornyc.com. It’s in New York so the state of lockdown may have an effect. I’d suggest emailing or calling first.
Somebody has to say this
When it comes to tiny format, it may be cheaper to buy another in better condition
4X5 Speeds are in demand, but not the smaller ones

Speed graphics are very simple mechanically, and were designed to be fixable on the battlefield. There's a lot of DIY info online.
Most of the ones I've come across just need a few drops of sewing machine oil.

The foto museum is interesting, but the how-to step by step project instructions should be veiwed with a grain of salt, as the instructions are through, but not clear...
Example is replacing a FP shutter, some parts are misnamed, and not clear as to the steps... There are other "white papers" on how to do it that are much clearer than the presentation on Jo's site...
Beware...

I just put my money where my mouth is
KEH has some odd deals 'UGLY' is one. I paid for this rated 'ugly non working' moments ago, a gamble on the best looking Mini Speed I have seen. Visually it is missing only the GG, I have one.
No rust bumps under the leather, no tripod marks, sure LOOKS good
I only worry if the rails are bent, a lot are. But KEH has Free Shipping both ways and full refund. Never used that feature yet
