Help, help, help. I've got a Anniversary Speed
Graphic, Ih has no solenoid but I have bought one. To
fit it I need to rotate the lens a bit (Kodak 127mm
Ektar with no synch.) But the lens refuss to move,
even with a vice grip. I thought, maybe its got one of
those little lugs sticking out from the back of the
shutter. So I unscrewed the three screws from the
flang on the back of the lens panel. Can I make the
flange move? No way. I have been hitting it by putting
ta small chisel in the screw holes and hitt6ing this
with a hammer, to make it turn. No way. The flanger
seems to be countersunk into the wook. But even so it
ought to move. Maybe someone poured epoxy into it. can
anyone please help?
