Congrats on your new camera, Jay.

I have an 8x10 P that I bought for a very good deal from a studio that was switching to 4x5 digital. The studio said they bought it from Bill Diebold whose name is engraved on the rail clamp. http://www.debold.com/ From what I can tell just looking at the camera (the back in particular), it has seen a lot of film go through it. The rear knobs have a bit of play, but everything works as it should. As Drew said, these things were built to last for years of professional use.
