Kindermann isn't much different....8-))
With a little luck you can find this stuff for 1/10th of the new 
price at photo fairs and garage sales.
It helps to know what they look like, since mostly the owner hasn't 
even the slightest clue of what it is....don't expect a tag saying 
"70mm"....he only knows that 120 doesn't fit....8-))
Luckily they mostly have no clue about price either....I once found a 
Kindermann tank+SS-reel for US$15....:-))
Will keep an eye out for these things on fairs I'll visit in future
(like I do with IR-books).

Btw, something that popped up on the Rollei list today: anyone ever 
heard of a Rollei TLR (twin lens reflex) with 70mm back? Another one 
is supposed to have a fixed Polaroid back. Never heard of any other 
Rollei 70mm product than the 600x backs.
