Volunteer, contribute, color, and low bandwidth all sound good to me. Why not, at the very least, look at it?

I have begun work on a redesign. Klotz has told me that keeping the 50's feel is important to him, so I'm going with it. I'm mostly focused on tweaking the organization and flow of the pages, and giving the site distinct "sections" so all content is just a couple of clicks away - not buried deeply as is often the case now.

If any of you guys have packaging materials from the 50s era that you could send me digitally (scanned, photographed) or even prints that I could scan myself, that would be awesome. I just purchased a super minty 10th Ed. of Graphic Graflex Photography by Morgan & Lester et al. (with the dust jacket!) that I'll be using as source for new equipment images on the site. But to flesh out the look, I'd love to have some packaging images...

I will be posting my initial design in the next few days, and I'll put a link to it on this forum.

Just so you know, there's no color right now. It's all still black & white. I think I'll confine most of the color to pages dealing with the XL, per Klotz's suggestion.
