Not to mention no unrepairable electronics to fail without warning...
Here is a WIP. Canon 7 with 63mm wide frame, new pressure plate and "corrected" film advance. Front plate machined for a slow-pitched helicoid (Hoya 28mm) with a Fuji 45mm f5.6 (from the GS645W) mounted on a #00 shutter from a Kodak Retina 013. Next I'll try to couple the rangefinder.

Here is the new cam follower with it's own bearing roller and eccentric. Everything seems to check out and hopefully it'll pass the film test. I detected a light leak from the leaf shutter but the test condition was far from normal practice. Shutter speeds are 1 to 1/2 stop slow.
