Welcome to APUG!

In the meantime I would like to recommend so websites:
www.graflex.org -- the best place to start for posted information, articles and manual, and advice on Speed and Crown Graphics. It is not a real active website, but the moderators and experts get emails for each posting so that in a few hours or day you will start getting answers. No advertising or sales of equipment allowed.
http://www.largeformatphotography.info -- large format in general, some graphic and graflex heavy users.
http://www.southbristolviews.com/ one more information source​
You can also get manuals at http://www.butkus.org/chinon/ If you find the downloads useful please send in $3 each to keep this free work going.

I recommend the book GRAPHIC GRAFLEX Photography Morgan & Morgan, INC., Publishers, Hastings-on-Hudson, NY by Willard D. Morgan and Henry M. Lester. Get the 9th edition or later.

Feel free to ask questions, none of us was born with this knowledge.

Steve

Thanks for the links, I have checked a couple of them and will look into the others as well. Hoping to find someone I can work with in person as well, I feel I learn better that way and it's nice working with people of similar interests.
