Okay I was the one who snagged the Kalimar off Ebay posted a page back. It was actually a friend who snagged it for me and we did a trade.
It was a lot to spend but the closest alternative was going for so much I decided to do it.
I was also gonna snag the set of modified Kaligar lenses in the junkyard, and we even made a deal for them but then I got some bad news that included some financial news and the summer is already so tight that other than a couple things I already have money set aside for everything needs to wait until the fall so that deal did not happen.
Okay here is where I am at.
Eumig gutted, transition box, and hood attached no problem thanks to Portumac's amazing transition box.
Kalimar buttons off. One screw on each had to be drilled. I think they were glued. The others came out no problem.
Bell and Howel dial came off easy. It spins as will the entire knob.
Seagull knobs a nightmare. Had to cut them out with tin snips. No clue how to remove them. Any ideas would be appreciated. The only thing I can think of is to gently dremel the metal off of them?????
Lots of misc, rings to accurize the lenses.
