Service manual gives no clue as to size or type.
Parts are: cover; screen; gasket; window; frame.
1/8 inch glass was standard thickness at this point in time.
Frame, front- 40078P1
Window, front- 40081P1
Gasket - 40079P1
Screen, framing mask - 40085
Cover, front - 40076P1

Front cover is removed by removing 3 screws around the top front edge.

hey all
to day I got in my last ebad buy Graflex XL S# X40381
it had a lens tube 100mm no lens
a Singer RH10
the rangerfinder didn't adjust to the change of lens so by help
from 45PS in his manual I clean & oiled some dry parts now it
works just fine
next is to find a thin peace of glass for the frunt rangerfinder
cover
then at some point in time some droped it and broked off the
lift hand grip broking the bolt off inside so I will be looking for
a right hand grip
BUT all in all for my $125. buy I will have a good XLRF to go
with my XLS & 2 XLSW
I have some lens for them 47mm, 65mm, 95mm, 100mm,
& a 180mm would like to get a 58mm & maybe a 270mm
some day
