Title: YODA's Graflex button Faux to Function Tutorial (for Parks static buttons)
Post by: Yoda on May 10, 2015, 03:15:19 PM
Hello everyone

I have been messaged a few times now about a remedy for the faux/static buttons that were sent out on some of the
remaining Parks Replica Graflexs.

So... here is a tutorial for modifying the button so it can be made functional. ;)

This is meant for DIY people who may not have machines like a lathe or Mill available.

I am making the Spare Graflex head/tool available to chassis kit customers with a Drill press who
need to make this modification to their button.
Simply pay shipping both ways ( to you and back to me ) and I'll let you use it to hold you button
so you can drill it with out hurting your personal graflex.

If necessary I will make a sign up sheet so :))

I hope this helps everyone with their faux button debacles so you can make it work as it should. 8)
