I think I have some photo's from when I disassembled the OneStep. If I can find them I'll add them to the web site & let you know.

Subject: [pinhole-discussion] RE: SX 70 Pinhole Andy, It would be great to get complete, illustrated guidelines on how you did your conversion. I tried a folding SX-70. It was a fun dismantling project but a complete disaster (between the camera and the film consumption). I'm not sure it is possible to convert one successfully. The electronic shutter, folding interlock mechanism, etc. creates all sorts of problems. I raised the question about the publication/instructions on eBay to see if anyone knew about the article. It doesn't sound like a camera conversion project. Perhaps I will have to bid on the auction . . .
