Thanks you 2; Alain, it's true the path isn't as easy as the Pageant (specifically the bottom part), but still felt good. Lamp wise, true true, but the pageant I have right now uses the old robot ears to begin with. Plus the pageants I was eyeing didn't seem that great/cheap, so I just got a graflex from etsy(!) that looked good and was cheap. 1000 model. Also, cheers for Chuck Hessingers contact.
And yes, ugly as hell.
