Hello, I was wondering if anyone here knew something about this flash port on my late 20s Graflex Series D large format SLR. The camera was heavily modified sometime in the 30s to include a large aerial photography lens and some really wonky changes to internal spring tensions (that I have since reverted to stock). One of the more enigmatic modifications however is the addition of an unusual 2 pin flash to the camera. It is really quite ingenious how it was installed, for it uses a rotating cam inside the curtain mechanism to close the circuit of the flash at just the right moment. At any rate, I haven't a clue what the name of the connector is called, nor what kind of system it connects to. I have plenty of flashbulbs lying around, so I figured it would be fun to throw something together and take some low light photos with this uniquely capable camera. At any rate, attached will be a picture of the connector, any input is appreciated
Cheers!
