  Try Midwest Photo http://www.mpex.com Its just possible
they may have some.
Graflex holders also have the lock groove on the holder
rather than the camera as do Graphic holders.
  It _is_ possible to replace the back with a spring back
from a Graphic but you have to find a 5x7 Graphic, not easy.
  Graflex holders of all sizes seem to be exceedingly rare.
