Version

This replacement camera internal bulb assembly features the details and functionality of its vintage counterpart.  Fit and finish matches the antique original.  Transform your GRAFLEX® into a working camera flash.

V2:  This version has been revised to utilize thermoset polymer parts instead of using modern thermoplastic.  The original part was made from Bakelite, one of the first thermoset plastics.  Thus, TGS has updated the assembly with more accurate features and with its material more closely matching an original.  Please allow 5-business days as these are cast using a 100 year old process.

V1:  This version uses thermoplastic pieces using a modern material and injection molding process.  It's based on a previous gen design that may need some fitting and adjustment to get it to be vintage accurate in sizing and features.

  • 2x plated square under-button pins

Roger Christian Approved

When the Academy Award winning set decorator of Star Wars (1977) first saw our Graflex flashgun, he initially thought it was one manufactured back before the 1950s. He was astonished by the detail and the quality of what he was holding.

The GRAFLEX® is featured in Christian's Galaxy Built On Hope (2022). You can find more information here.
