Anyone use 120-film stereo pairs?

Hi,

        Anybody tried stereo slide pairs taken with 120 film?  I mean
the "full" sized slides (6 pairs per roll) not the quasi-realist sized
images that I understand  cameras like the ISO Duplex Super 120 camera makes.
What size images does the sputnik make? 

        I sent for a few rolls of 120 Kodachrome with a B&H order this
morning (needed more Kodalux mailers for Realist format mounting...) just to 
play with a used YashicaMat 124 camera I recently found for a resonable price.  
Thought I'd try some manual-displacement method of taking stereo pairs with 
medium format film (to me, it's "big").

        Anyone build a "little" viewer or know of one available?  Any suggestions
for lenses if I opted to make one myself?  I assume about a 80mm lens would 
yield an "ortho" view, are there other major considerations that would 'get me'?  I
know I have a bit of math to do, but if someone's already done it.... ??????  :-)
Is there a magnification that is a good target for film this sized?  Are mirrors
required or can things work out with straight paths?
        
        Anyone setup a dual yashicamat 124 rig?  If so, did it require a
wheelbarrow to move it around?  I've only one, but the price was good enough
($45 w/case) that if I found a second one at the same price.... of course one
would have to be upside down to be wound.... hmmm... could be trickier than I
thought... never mind!

        Anyone try a beamsplitter on a 120 camera?  Which one.  How, why, where,
who when and what?  Did I leave anything out?

        All questions, no answers.  :-)

        Much more fun than disolvers anyway.....
