I made some progress on the Polaroid 4x5 conversion. I removed everything from the camera that won't be needed for 4x5.

Here it is before the destruction with the back and lens that will eventually be grafted on for 4x5.

These are the tools needed. Actually there was also a box cutter I used to cut wires. Most everything is riveted on and needed to be drilled out. No going back now! There were a few slotted head and Phillip head screws.

The pile of parts taken off.

The lens board revealed.

It's a lot lighter with all the stuff on the back taken off.

Pretty compact folded up. It won't be so compact with the Graflok back on it. The next step is to get the shutter on the 127 Ektar repaired and a CLA. Then to mount the lens and find out where the infinity focus is. Lots of carving to do. I don't think it's going to go back as easilly as it came apart.
