Re: Cirkut 10

Your acquisition is a timely one, and there are some experienced Cirkut guys
who work on these wonderful old cameras.  One who is constantly recommended
to me is Stanley Stern mailto:sstern@xxxxxxx
who makes the running gears.

At 1-800 PANPIXS is Jeff Aldrich who has a running gear and very tall
tripod, if you're going to photograph big groups.

Like Jamie, I'd like to follow the lore, and know where you got the outfit,
too; and what you're going to do with it.

In what part of the world are you living?
