View Full Version : Speed Graphic shutter locked up
The shutter on my Speed Graphic locked up. Is this something I can repair ? If not, who can I send it ? I'm in Iowa, midway from all. thanks--tom
The shutter on the Speed has a lock-up function, to enable use of the lens shutters.
Did you perhaps engage that accidentally?
The manual should be available at www.graflex.org

I should have explained more clearly,my goof. It is the lens shutter that is locked up

Which shutter is it? Supermatic or Graphex? Locked up how? Gummed up or jammed somehow?
You could try Flutot's (Carol Miller).

The shutter is a Graphex. Locked up on the T setting. I cocked it, tried to release the shutter and it wouldn't release.So I figure its jammed? Tried everything I could think of doing.Might have found a person to work on it.

If it's a rim set shutter dial try moving the dial towards a higher speed.
Thanks for all the suggestions. Think I'll do a CLA, that way it should be good for a few years-if its repairable.. thanks--tom
