Another problem is that ordinarily the Leicavit will not work with an M4/6. Marshall's cameras have been modified to work. With Tom's Rapidwinder available at a fraction of what a new Leicavit would cost - and with no modification required for M2, M4-2, M4-P, and M6, it really wouldn't make a lot of sense to bring back the Leicavit.
