I have just acquired two Graflex roll film holders.On the RH 10 model with blue winding lever the dark slide hits the edge of the frame and won`t seat all the way unless you push in so it can clear.Is there any way to fix this?My other holder says RH 10-20 with a yellow lever; so does 10-20 mean it takes 220 film?

Only half of your roll film holder will accept 220 film.

The RH10-20 back (the wrap around part) will accept either the 120 or the 220 insert.

So,since the insert counter goes up to 20 then it is the 220 insert in 6x7 format?

The format is determined by the shell, not the insert. It contains the cutout for the film to be exposed. Since you are using an RH-20 insert in an RH-10 shell, yes, the format will be 6x7.

On my 2x3 RH-10 holder one of the roller pins that reside just above the dark slide is missing.Where can I buy another one? What is the purpose of these rollers and what would happen if I used the holder without replacing the roller? Thanks

Rollers are intended to keep film flat--dont waste film without either of them! Parts for
these roll holders are non existant, except
occasionally at auction, replacements are available! Bert
