Does anybody know of a camera repair outfit that can adjust the various focus elements of a 4x5 speed graphic, such as the rangefinder. My camera is a Korean War Signal Corps Anniversary, with which I shoot "combat" photography at WWII re-enactments. I'd like to have the rangefinder work better but it's beyond my ability to fix. Any suggestions?

My suggestions would be Fred lusting first and Steve Grimes second. But I'm sure there are others.

Now are you sure it's an Anniversary? I thought all Korean theater cameras were Pacemakers.
Does it have a metal lensboard? What did the military call your camera (PH-104,C-3,C-6,etc) "m trying understand the impossible--military designations of Speed Graphic cameras.

It is a pacemaker. My mistake.
