Rolleiflex Press

My current progress getting the Rolleiflex outfitted in its Press Camera roots...

 

It was moded for the Heiland Research shutter solenoid and had bi-post connections added on the upper left of the face.

 

Since I happen to have numerous parts I was able to add the proper HR solenoid. I added the flash bracket with a Heiland bracket and a nameless battery holder (no screw on base though) A heiland reflector on top.

 

Currently missing is the cable for the solenoid post. It is a dual post but a bit fatter than the traditional bi-post. It connects to the battery holder via household 110 prongs.

 

The theory currently is that the battery holder pushbutton triggers the solenoid which trips the shutter and sends a signal via the bi-post cable to fire the flash...

 

Hopefully flickr will add back in the "notes" feature at some point. It makes explaining things a bit easier.
