I'm helping someone move items they have in an abandoned studio that they bought. I pulled this lens and have messed with the aperture. Very smooth operation with good glass and blades. Functions as it should. The only thing I can see is either separation or fog maybe? In the one pic you'll see it around the number 3. Does not appear that it would impact the image in any manner though. Was tempted to toss it on my Speed Graphic, but the ambition left me about as quickly as it hit me...lol. I typically only use my Speed with my Aero Ektar, so this would get no use.
I also have a lens board for a Speed Graphic that I'll include. You'll have to enlarge the hole to fit.
Anyway, feel free to message with any questions.
*lensboard included is the traditional silver Speed Graphic one
**I did toss this on a lensboard for my Wollensak and snapped a sample image of the old Chevrolet. No issues at all and beautiful rendering :)

Look at the number of aperture blades..... a real bokehmeister here!
