I cannot say how much I'm enjoying this built. There are so many great topics on the web and especially here to research the built and the prop itself. You can click on each pic to view it larger. I'll start with some recent projects I've done. Then I'll move on to the gathering of the parts, which is not fully completed at the moment. Then I'll show a few shots from the assembling and the present state of the built.
Here's the beast to start it all, the Kango 426 drill:
Hama Slide Viewer B101 (mine is actually the model "3643")
The Vivitar Zoom Thyristor 2500 flash unit
Hama "Selbst-auslöser 5401" ("Automatic shutter release") and its box
AC Transformer from the Matchbox Powertrack 2000 series and up
Nobles great find and fixed Sphygmomanometer inner casing plus 3D printed bracket
Currently I'm waiting for a Jobolux Minilight or Jobo "Laborleuchte" ("Laboratory lamp"). It should be here within the next week. I'll upload the next parts when I've found them.

Next up was the disassembling of the Kango which was not easy at all, but manageable. I could give some advice if somebody needs help. But I would say there is everything you need on the web. Or in your toolbox.
Make sure to make pictures of where you've removed which bolt/screw! Because you will disassemble the drill a lot of time.
I took the drill parts to my work where we have some sort of a washing machine for tools and metal parts. After a few washes within that industrial cleaner it was mostly apart from the grease. I took it one time to my dishwasher but he wasn't able to remove it...

After spray-coating the parts I've started assembling the Tracker.
I found a vintage knob in a lot at my work and added it. Not screen accurate at all, but I really like it.
I've used the cable from the Kango drill as it seems to be the correct one. I took parts of it for both, the Viewer cable and the one on the top.
Be very carefully when drilling your Slide Viewer. He's stiff, but probably not to solid at all.
Mounted it without the female part is also possible.
Added Vivitar flash parts was a cool job to do.
And my box for the spare parts with added stickers.

In the meanwhile I got a new re-shaped pump bracket from Noble. Finally I could add the Pump widget yesterday.
I also use a part of the removed Kango front piece as a display stand. Nice, huh?
That's it for now, the current state as seen above. Progress pictures will be available soon. Hopefully my little brown bess spraycan will be enough for the rest of the parts.
