It is done today all the time when parts are not available or parts have gone out of production. This is very common in industry.

That's true but instances of "using up" parts from old models on the early runs of new ones, and substituting parts destined for new models on the last runs of old ones, is a very "Leica" thing. Probably more other brands would have done it too had their successor models been as little changed from the predecessors as Leica's. One instance I do recall is that late Nikon F's were fitted with the advance lever and selftimer of the F2. _______________________________________________ Leica Users Group.
