Hello from Dallas Oregon

Hey gang,
I was curious if anyone knows how to find locals at this site that help people wanting to get into using some of the older equiptment, I just completely restored a Century Studio and I have an old Kodak Vest Pocket. I really dont mind having my own darkroom and have a great room in the basement. I would just like a little hands on before I start dumping cash on unnecessaries

Heres my newest additions

Welcome to APUG, and I hope that you can find some locals who can help you. I agree with Gene—the Century Studio looks gorgeous.

Thanks guys!
Yeah I was pretty happy with the way it turned out, I liked my bellows for a first time attempting them, thought I would screw up but they actually went really smooth, I tried going new finish but keeping it looking like the original finish would look after 110 years, heres what I started with, the pictures make it look like it was in better shape than it actually was, this guy took alot of pictures judging from the wear
