Amazing build so far. As a lover of functional props, I hope it all comes together in the end.
My only input on the rail was to perhaps look at the guide rails on the side of a laptop DVD drive. Some of the older models used all-metal slides. Modern ones use half-plastic half-metal slides.
The whole body of the reader sure looks like Sony went and dug up some old camera/camcorder prototype and re-worked it. The screwed on panels on the front look like they are Covering up a old lens opening or something. Too bad Sony has only made several thousand different cameras over the years.
