I'd be game for a used one.  The cost of a new one seems pretty steep.

I've been thinking of taking the front end off of an old Kodak 5-perf
viewer and bolting it to the front of my Saturn.  Not thinking very hard,
mind you. With new lenses, the interocular and focusability would be a plus.

Do I have to build everything myself?  Yeah, I guess I do.
