I went through the same problem several years ago when I was first starting out in LF, and sure enough it was the fixer, nice shots BTW
"WOW! Now thats a big camera. By the way, how many megapixels is that thing?"
Here is the fixed picture, just a quick scan and minor adjustments in lightroom:
I am amazed at how much bad handling a negative can take. this one has been underfixed, fell on the ground couple of times, was tested drying with 70% alcohol, then i put it in an envelope and the paper basically glued to it;washed it again, rubbed the paper off the emulsion etc etc. still i think it turned out ok
Here is the other one. It was treated as a "trashcan-negative", since i thought it was ruined. i tested different methods on the negative, among others you can see i damaged the emulsion with the squeegee on the left side. i am surprised how well the other parts of the image could be redeveloped.
thank again for all your help and support
