OT: old cameras

My Horseman 4x5 rail is absolutely beautiful near mint, and I got it for basically the cost of the 210mm Nikkor that came with it. My favorite store is http://www.bluemooncamera.com/ and I bought both of my 8x10 camera's and my 8x10 lens from them, as well as quite a bit of other gear. They're semi-local, and a great store. You can also check http://www.keh.com, as well as Adorama and B&H Photo. There are others, but I don't have personal experience with them. I'd probably avoid eBay, but at the same time if there are good photo's, it's probably safer than most sources. Oh, and at least around here, they turn up on Craigslist fairly often.
