Another camera saved

I recently finished restoring a half-a-century old Kodak Tourist camera that I bought on eBay for $10 bucks.  The bellows needed a bit of work and the shutter had to be cleaned, but after a few days of work I got everything working.  Unfortunately, I did not realize that Kodak Tourist cameras take 620 film which is no longer manufactured.  Fortunately, a local camera repair shop had a couple of 620 spindles.  I found a tutorial online on winding 120 medium format film onto 620 spindles and after about 10 minutes with a film bag I loaded my new old toy with a fresh roll of Kodak Tri-X. 

Unfortunately I don`t have a film scanner, so I had to scan the negatives on a regular flatbed.  The negatives look beautiful and the scans don`t do them justice.
