Hi, I have a miniture speed graphic and have been looking for a Graflok back for a while to increase the cameras flexiblity.
I came across these backs ******* on ebay
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=3826045171
So my question is: would these fit my camera and does everything appear to be intact?
I really would appreciate your input
regards, Aaron

As stated on the main board: "Avoid 2x3 Speed/Crown Graphics with Graphic backs."

I'm afraid that equipment will not work for you. Here are your choices:

Dan,

I can see the hooks on the back that engage the arms on the focus screens, but the sliders on the back look different than the normal graflok, they do look more like the sliders for the notched film holders..

Sorry fellas, 3 errors in a row....
This >>IS A COMPLETE GRAFLOK<< with 2 GG frames and pop-ups......the camera angle is deseptive for the sliders....enlarge the photo and all is there!
>>>>>TO Lunaaron<<<<<......................
....to be sure that it is for the 2x3, ask the seller for the dimensions of the GG, some sellers know nothing about these cameras.....hard to find so would definatly bid on this one!......Bert

I don't like the hidden bidder idenity, What A Deal for a location and with 98% positive feedback for over 3200 transactions. I suggest reading his feedback profile, especially the negetive coments, before buying from him unless you will be satified with whatever you get to include nothing.

I would have to agree, 52 total negatives and 13 neutrals, would make me start to wonder, he is hiding the bidders due to the fact he does not want any of his unhappy bidders to contact them, I would also make sure I knew where he was located before I bid.

I agree with Bert in that it's a (near ) complete Graflok back.

I say near because it's missing the two black bars that normally hide the slots in the sliders. Functionally I don't see where it matters, but it made them look odd.
