Hello...

For the Super & Super Speed Graphic camera, Graflex made what is called a Press-Lok tripod mount, catalog# 4595, which can be attached to a tripod head with the tripod screw.

On the bottom of the camera are what Graflex referred to (in the SG/SSG manual) as a pair of keyhole sockets on either side of a standard tripod socket. These keyhole sockets mate with a pair of movable posts on the Press-Lok mount. These posts are moved by squeezing together two lock levers on the side of the mount for easy, hassle-free operation. This set-up works very well with my Super Speed as I just got one of these mounts from Pacific Rim Camera.

I have seen the Press-Lok mounts occasionally on eBay, but you could also try looking at:

http://www.mpex.com

or

http://www.stephenshuart.com

These places usually have many Graphic accessories. It is advisable to call them as their websites may not be updated & i know Stephen Shuart has a rolling stock of items. You could also check with Fred Lustig (find his address & number elsewhere on this site). He has had some recent health concerns and may not be doing repairs right now but if you write to him he may be able to fill your order if he has one.

Hope this helps.
