Thread: Does anybody have a replica or original graflex?

    Sorry, that comment was directed to Ronan. I was just saying that although he is looking for a grooved top graflex on ebay, I bought one from there two weeks ago.
    So now I have 2 graflex - a plain 3-cell and a grooved 2-cell.
    I also bought a brass replica top from Tim; at 10 bucks you can't go wrong.
    My advice truthfully would be, save the bucketloads of cash you'd spend getting a graflex from ebay, get the $10 brass one from TCSS and if you don't want it brassy, blacken it with birchwood casey brass black for another $10.

    NO SOLICITING!

    And, I said before, so I'll ask again here
    Why does it HAVE to be a graflex top? You could make one yourself that would fit MHS, or perhaps even have Tim cut cut that kind of overlay.

    see i would do that but i want to put tims graflex led conversion in it and have the pins and bunnyears and button and glass retaining screw and that would be very hard and not worth it. so i am looking for a place that sells the bunnyears because i can get everything else but them right now so i can use tims brass

    Why not get the brass top sold in the store, then have it chromed? Would be easier AND cheaper. Look, you're going to cut it any way to get it how you want it, well even real Graflexs' are brass underneath that chrome, so when you cut it the brass edges will show. Getting the brass one, cutting it, get it just right then send it off to be chromed would make more sense. But what would I know.....

    ur absolutely right but like i said i am gonna have to do that but i will require finding a site that sells just the bunny ears so i can put it on the replica than after i cut it i need to find someone to chrome it because tim wont powdercoat it for some reason do you no anyone that sells the bunnyears

    I'm going to make this VERY clear...

    This site is connected to a store so it is not good to try to do business in someone's store.

    There are several other sites and stores where you can buy a full replica. I'm in the same boat with a brass top looking for ears/hoop and an eye but I don't discuss any sales or purchases of any kind.

    There are other forums or a search engine to help you with the parts you're looking for.
