Thank you Bob! They are all "dry" and "foamy" EXCEPT for the upper edge of the film holder seal...it is sticky...now I wonder if that one semi-sticky edge will foul me up.
I will look on eBay to see about getting a set of foam seals, since if ONE is sticky, I must assume that ALL will be getting sticky soon.

Depending on where and how compressed the foam is, you may get a light leak or bits of the old foam making their way into the RFH and perhaps onto the film.
Japanese pre-cut seal kit available here although the RB shown isn't a Pro-S and has a seal on the back of the actual body - my Pro-S has the seal on the rotating adapter itself:

I've dealt with Mr Asahi before with no problems - just over a week for a curtain material and leatherette order to travel from Japan to the UK.
US based Jon Goodman DIY kit here (Not dealt with him myself but he has a good reputation on some forums as does Mr Asahi):
Click here to see on Ebay

Congrats, nice to see appropriate gear for your caliber of work.
One question . . .
Are you compensating for short lenses with big cameras? 
Jim
