Default Graphic View I

Already tried that! The Kodak/Calumet/Orbit will take
Graphic View boards but the reverse just won't fit without
modifying the boards.

I also have a lens mounted on a Pacemaker board and could
use an adapter.

I just picked up a Graphic View I (base tilts) and fell in
love with its Art Deco Look. Camera seems to be in fairly
good shape, at least not bad for 60 years old(!), bellows
good but it needs a few parts to complete and a few minor
repairs. So I have a few questions:
Has someone seen the Graphic View repair CD offered on
that auction site, is it worth the money or just a bad
scan of a photocopy of a Mimeographed manual made in the
40's (you know what I mean)?
Can someone suggest a few sources of parts, I need the
front lens board retaining clip, and some parts for the
focus drive on one of the standards. Oh and a couple of
un-drilled metal lens boards (I know I can make the boards
from plywood but want to stay original).

Look for a lens board from a Burke & Jame (B&J) Orbit view camera or
any of the identical cameras sold under the Kodak or Calumet names
(they all have a rotating back and round center-rail).
They use a lenboard which is the same as the graphic view I & II. A
common stock item in the 40's!
