Gene: Good to know. I ground out the risers and smoothed the casting. A repaint with Kodak #4 is drying as I write. Tomorrow, I'll increase the diameter of the locating pins with small brass tubes epoxied over them, and mount the correct winding key. Groundglass tests indicate the infinity setting of the lens is correct. The project is a hoot. I'll compare the negs from the Tourist to those from my converted (for 120 film) Medalist II. Should be interesting. Regards, Marv _______________________________________________ Cameramakers mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://rmp.opusis.com/mailman/listinfo/cameramakers
