In a recent batch of treasure (junk) were several documents from a company called Romney and Associates who were doing Graflex restoration work in the early '70s. They were located in Forest City, North Carolina. The documents included correspondence about a replacement hood for a 3A, which must have turned out successfully as the old hood was in the batch of stuff I got. The company also catalogued older cameras they offered, including such morsels as "6 1/2 by 8 1/2 Cycle Graphic". They appeared to offer a complete range of restoration and rebuilding services.
I wonder what ever happened to them; anyone here remember them? |

| Could this be the late Ed Romney, who sold repair manuals and parts until his death? |

Edward H. Romney, according to the signature block on my documents. So it's the same guy. He was doing business as "Romney and Associates" in the restoration business described above. I wonder how long he kept that business going, and what happened to it. |

Ed's wife is still maintaining the business and selling manuals. Do a search on the web...you will find it. |
