They are hard to find. Normally they are modified Nikons (F series), due to
their extremely accurate viewfinder. A grid is added to the reticle and
manual or electric solenoid pins are added to the camera back to assure that
the 8 sprockets of each exposure are perfectly centered in the opening. This
will insure that exposures will sit perfectly centered in "pin-registered"
mounts (they have pins that fit into sprocket holes) like the Wess. This
camera conversion was done by companies like Oxberry and Double M. They were
done mainly for the multi-image industry, when that meant fancy slide shows.
Last I saw used ones were selling for $1500- $2500... but with the slide
industry drying up, who knows? Last number I have for Double M industries in
Texas is 512 251-4044... good luck.
