Is cracked!!! Any idea for replacement? How can you tell if the camera is a GV or a GV2?

I have alerady looked at that link. How does that help in fixing the groundglass camera back? I have heard SN's will identify the year/make.

Well the link will tell you if your camera is a GV or GVII and if it's a Graphic Graflok or Graflex back.

As to the ground glass, measure the glass and look on ebay for ground glass. Or you can grind your own, or etch your own. Google will show you how.
