[QUOTE="480sparky, post: 435950, member: 15805"] Since I already had the design of the 120 conversion engineered, I went ahead and bought some of the goodies to make it happen after supper tonight. Stopped by the hardware store for a 1¼" dowel for the spool adapters, and the office supply store for a thick presentation folder to make a new film gate. [img]http://i214.photobucket.com/albums/cc172/480sparky/Photography%203/Three%20Generations/Film%20Gate%2001.jpg[/img] The first thing I did was tear off all the un-needed clear plastic parts of the folder, as well as the 3-ring binder loops. [img]http://i214.photobucket.com/albums/cc172/480sparky/Photography%203/Three%20Generations/Film%20Gate%2002.jpg[/img] That left me with plenty of plain stock to make a new film gate, and enough to make more if I make a mistake or want to make another format. I chose 6x7 since that will be the same as my RB67. Cutting the plastic to size was easy with a rotary cutter. [img]http://i214.photobucket.com/albums/cc172/480sparky/Photography%203/Three%20Generations/Film%20Gate%2003.jpg[/img] What took a bit more time (and finesse!) was laying out the 6x7 cutout. But with a calculator and double-checking, it's fairly simple. [img]http://i214.photobucket.com/albums/cc172/480sparky/Photography%203/Three%20Generations/Film%20Gate%2004.jpg[/img] One last check to make sure everything is in place..... [img]http://i214.photobucket.com/albums/cc172/480sparky/Photography%203/Three%20Generations/Film%20Gate%2005.jpg[/img] Then use the utility knife with a new blade, next to a metal ruler, to cut out the 6x7cm opening. [img]http://i214.photobucket.com/albums/cc172/480sparky/Photography%203/Three%20Generations/Film%20Gate%2004.jpg[/img] Violá! One new film gate.
