[LargeFormat] Re: WWII Signal Corps newsgroups

[Ken Hough]

I can't believe I can remember when these common.
Sounds strange but in the early 70s Burke and James from Chicago
sold these reconditioned (a drop of oil) for 75.00Net. I worked at a camera 
shop at the time and bought 2 of them. I went to B&J and picked them up. I 
saw boxes of them! I'll bet there were 150 of them. They were NOS! None 
had any wear marks. The shipping boxes had shelf marks. 
They took nice photos. I sold them in the 80s to a WWII photo equipment 
collector.Would I use one now? Only if the shutter curtain was perfect.

I was surprised to see a blue colour to the flash on this Sp Graphic, which
implies colour film not B and W. Is there a blue bulb in the flash or is the
reflector tinted blue?  PL
