John,
It sounds like you're well fixed for lenses, now, but I have a very good specimen of a 36" series VB with perfect glass.
PM me if you are interested. I can send you photos and price.

John,
I don't know what ULF format you're considering, but if 12x20 is up for consideration,
IMHO that 24" is a tad too long to roost on a F&S 12x20 Banquet if you're looking to buy an "experienced" ULF camera. The 19"er is limited in coverage for 12x20.
A reasonably priced ULF camera to look for is an 11x14 B&J, providing some film holders come with it.
FWIW, If you want to do ULF on the cheap, go with a pinhole--shoot paper negatives.!

Just saw the picture of the home built camera. Assuming that the camera in the background is a C1, it must be huge! Do you have any pictures of your groundglass setup and your film holders, and/or their plans? I have an Argyle 20x24 stat camera that i'd to build a back and film holder for. Would like to try using it for studio still lifes and portraiture.
Emile,
I am working on flimholder designs, I'm trying to design one that can be easily built with simple woodworking tools. PM me your email and I'll send you some pics.
To keep the size issue in perspective, the lens mounted on the camera is a 360 Componon, the front element is roughly 4 1/2" in diameter.

Erie, I'd be interested in photos as well. I recently received an 18"x24" back and holder and would love to rig this up somehow. I'm especially curious how you've designed the focus for the front standard. Thanks Erie.
