[LargeFormat] linhof 5x7 advice needed.....

[Topher]

It may seems a bit strange, but i really want to try to use my linhof 
with the rangefinder! i need some exercise anyway... does anyone have 
any recommendations on how to go about this? living in hong kong i will 
have additional problems i guess.... i was thinking of just taking it 
to the local distributor on the rare occasion when they have some 
linhof person visiting and hope that he may be able to do something (it 
needs some CLA anyway).. i haven't seen any new (unfitted) cams in the 
used camera sites lately, but the cam seems like a very simple part: 
couldn't a blank one be machined fairly simply? but i'm not sure if 
shops in asia will still be able to adjust it to a new lens, as the 
cams are bigger than the 4X5 ones i think; not sure if they still have 
the machinery......
   any ideas, anyone?
thanks in advance......
