Vintage Graflex GRAPHIC VIEW 4x5 Sheet FILM Monorail Bellows Camera

Description: Here's a Large Format Field/Studio MONORAIL Camera Kit for 4x5 Film Images. I believe this is a model from the around the late 1940's to 1960's, made by Graflex, Inc. It has no lens/shutter but it does have the lens board and a Ground Glass Back with Viewing Hood--- the back does detach to change orientation. You would need a lens/shutter and special tripod head that clamps onto the triangular monorail---- but what is here is in Excellent Condition. In general, it's in Excellent Condition--- it's been used (not by me) so it has a few cosmetic flaws----a few nicks and scratches, and some dust and dirt in the nooks. But it's still in excellent shape, so it can still be a good user. The Bellows looks Great--- it is Crisp with Nice Folds and is clean outside, but it has a few spots of some dried schmutz on the inside--- but I don't think it's anything to worry about. Other than that it has nice folds--- rigid yet pliable. The controls work well.... front and back tilt movements, and it tracks along the rail smoothly. So it's in Very Good/Excellent overall condition---- seems usable with the couple items I noted, but I have not actually shot film with it, or even played around with it much, so it's unknown how well all of the performance nuances are. But I'm sure with a little TLC by someone who knows how to use it, it will be a good worker for years to come. What you see is what you'll get--- the actual item for sale is pictured. Continental US Shipping will be $17.50. I will ship within two days of purchase in most cases. It will be packed well and safe in a strong box, well padded and Lots of tape! International Shipping via the ebay program---- an estimate for that service should appear when you view the item, but I bet it will be rather expensive. PLEASE READ THIS--- --- By Buying you Agree with this: I am not Amazon or a professional Camera Store seller--- just an old camera collector/shooter selling some Used items. I'm not here trying to rip anybody off or sneak one past you. But that said... I'm not into having things go back and forth based on opinion, or risk "part swapping" either. So I'm sorry, I can't sell this item on Approval--- it's being sold As Is, No Warranty, No Buyer's Remorse, No Try-outs, No Returns... being sold as an old, used item, uncertain if fully functional. I've been a photographer for 30+ years and I know how cameras work and what to look for and can recognize when something is broken. But I can't "Bench Test" every thing to factory specs and unless it's Brand New... I can't guarantee that every single aspect may be Perfect. Any significant defects that I know of are either pictured or described to the best of my knowledge and I try to be detailed and truthful, but I can't describe every every millimeter of it... and I might have missed something. If you have a question about something particular--- Ask Before You Buy It. What you see is what you'll get and I package my items well, so it arrives in the same condition as shown. SEE MY OTHER AUCTIONS FOR MORE Interesting Items---- I'll be selling a large portion of my camera collection over the next few months, so check back and/or tell me what you're looking for. If you have questions about this or other items or combined shipping or other discounts---- please ask... Let's make a deal. Thanks
