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.

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.
