Stereo Ricohmatic 225 is back from Sam

[Greg Erker <erker@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi all,

  My SR225 just arrived in the mail.
Sam had it in order to link the two
shutters together.

  Sam did a wonderful job on it, trying
many different methods before coming up
with the sliding-wire-in-tube method that
he finally used. It appears to work wonderfully
and I can't wait to shoot some film.

  I'll probably first measure the shutter
speeds to know how much the upper ones
have slowed down due to the extra mass.

  And eventually I'll have to link the aperture
controls together since Sam didn't have
the time to do it for me.

  Still, this is a major milestone in
my insomnia inspired project (1.3 years
in the making so far).

  See some photos of the cameras and
