The question is whether he tore out the curtain or the whole shutter
mechanism. If the former repair is not too difficult although having the
old shutter curtain helps because it has the metal slits in it which can
be reused.
I have a 4x5 Graflex Super-D with a Graflok back on it. They are
big, heavy, cameras but are well balanced because they were intended to
be hand held. The Super-D has the advantage of a diaphragm that stops
down automatically but the manual diaphragm in other models is not much
of a problem once you get used to it.
I didn't know you did camera repair.

Hi,
Richard, the problem is I ripped the curtain out years ago. It's
still good with a lens and using the mirror up/down to expose. Or
using a shuttered lens.

Just an aside, I like Graflex cameas and wonder what has
happened to the shutter. They are pretty simple, you may be
able to fix it. The 5x7 cameras were once the standard press
camera, usually a "Home Portrait Graflex" with a shutter
modified for higher top speeds.

Hi!
And thanks for the reminder! I just put a .018" pinhole
on the Graflex 5x7.
Even though the shutter is broke, in sunlight you can see the
image enough
to compose. I've loaded aero Panatomic-X and will spend the
day shooting
and processing.
