Ran the first roll of film through the converted Tourist yesterday. Some observations:
1. Feed end upper (adjustible) locating pin has a small rectangular crosspiece that lightly snags the film spool crossslot. A small thin washer epoxied over this piece will solve the problem. 2. Tripping the shutter without using the shutter linkage on the camera bed is a PITA. I'll work up a way to use the existing shutter trip with the new lens/shutter and post it. 3. In spite of reasonable care in masking the camera body whilst doing the Dremel surgery, some of the swarf ended up in the viewfinder. I finally figured out how to get into the viewfinder and cleaned it. If anyone else winds up with this problem, email me and I'll tell you how to do it without removing the top plate. 4. All in all, a satifying weekend project and a very usable camera.
