It is just a matter of money. The Leicavit MP's are now bringing US$1500 and up and the parts for repairs are getting more and more scarce. It is questionable if it is worth spending 100's of $ to fix them, when in most cases they are attached to collectors cameras, that rarely sees a film through them. I divested myself of my Leicavit years ago and although I did make some parts for a couple of them, just to keep them going, it was not worth the effort. My own version is simpler, more reliable and it fits M4P's and M6's without costly modifications to the camera. The only reasons for making the Rapidwinder for the M2 were to find out if I could and because the M2 is my favourite model M camera to work with. Tom A
