I am a lucky guy, I own a complete 4x5 Crown Graphic with a top mounted view finder. It is perfect except I am missing one screw that holds my Graflok back to the wood body. It is a flathead slotted screw head, 4mm in diameter. It is 10mm long with 2mm diameter threaded portion. Any information on how to obtain one will be appreciated.
Thanks in advance, Harry

I could be completely off base, but my impression is that these are standard wood screws. Perhaps if you measured in inches rather than mm - it's something like a #4 x 3/4", I believe. I'm not at home to measure mine right now.

I wasn't clear regarding the type of head on the screw. The head rises above the surface of the Graflok and then with a slight curve becomes flat for the rest of the head dimension. The head is 5/16 inches in diameter. The length is 13/16" long. Most likely I'll have to glue the screw. My main concern is that the head matches.
Thanks, Harry

Harry, is this the screw on center right, under the GG frame! If it is, email me and I'll send one in a plain brown envelope! OK

Again I wasn't clear enough, The screw that's missing is actually the back that the graflok attaches to and it should be the back portion that screws to the camera body. I have also sent you an email.
Thank you, Harry
