I think I'm done with modifications.  If you notice, I also added lugs for
a neck strap (!) and velcro
squares to match those on my black focusing cloth. Since I took the photos
of the camera, I also
replaced the torn leather carrying strap with a brass handle.

For another camera adventure, look at the spring back I made for my Roshak
camera.
