Ground Glass for a Speed Graphic

[Richard Lee]

I'm looking to replace the scratched and grimey ground glass and fresnel on my 5x4 Pacemaker Speed Graphic. Are there any variations I need to be aware of, or is it a case of one size fits all?

Is there a particular 'go to' supplier in the UK? Any pointers/links and advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

You might find a temporary improvement, until you get your new set, by simply washing them. Do this as though they were film, being careful with the fresnel’s ridges and allowing them to dry naturally. I’m afraid scratches is scratches.

Plenty of Pacemaker screens in the right hand box, 7 or 8 I think,

Wash the fresnel in warm water ans use a sponge, the original Pacemaker fresnels are 2.29mm thick, modern fresnels are typically 1.07mm so you need to use the original, otherwise you would need shimms to fit a new fresnel.
