Hi, I've been working with my "new" crown graphic for the last 6 months... obtaining more than I expected. But yesterday I bought from B&H a couple of graflex film holders wood (thatīs the way they named them) I'm expecting them tomorrow, but I have a feeling that I bought some nice wooden junk. They were really cheap and I couldn't resist to buy things for my beloved graflex. Any one can help me just to be sure I didn't buy obsolete and useless historic holders?

There are plenty of wood filmholders that will work just fine. Type 5 is the best, but type 4 will work o.k. Newer ones that are not wood would inculde Riteway, Lisco, etc. Even the hinges which is the first to go can be repaired. One thing that is required on any filmholder is the darkslide. Russ

Type 5 Graphic film holders commonly sell on eBay. You could check them out to see how your deal compares.
