Hi Rich:

I brought it to him in July and it was returned in time to shoot some 
fall foliage with it.  I had given him a lot of work that day, various 
lenses into new shutters, and an overhaul, cleaning and shutter rebuild 
to the big Protar... in all a couple of months or so.

The Graflex was working, (sorta) when I brought it in, but someone had 
done a bad job when they added the Graflok back... it had light leaks 
and it was attached at a slight angle.  In the end Steve completely 
overhauled the "D" including cleaning everything, lens included, and he 
rebuilt the shutter.
