Vintage GRAFLEX Crown Graphic 4x5 Large Format RF Camera Optar 135mm f/4.7 lens

Vintage GRAFLEX Crown Graphic 4x5 Large Format Camera with Graflex Optar 135mm f/4.7 lens. Cosmetically, some paint loss, scuffs and other wear consistent with age/use. But if you view all the photos, I think you'll agree it was used, not abused. As far as I can tell, the bellows is in good shape, and it displays well. The lens looks pretty clean; I did remove it and there are a number of very light spots, primarily on the back lens (I had to rotate it in the light to see), they look like they are in the emulsion or whatever coating is on it. I couldn't figure out how to wind or prime the shutter, so I went on-line and my initial conclusion was, this lens is missing what the diagram I viewed shows as "lever 4". The slot where I think the lever should be is pictured in the last photo.

But maybe I'm still doing something wrong? I have several vintage cameras and accessories listed this week so please take a look at my other auctions, too. (if an item is for resale, please provide a copy of a valid WA resale license).
