The Back, Strap & Finder

Let's begin with the Model 160 since it will be the body of the hybrid camera. We need to remove all the parts that are either going to be replaced by the 110A & 900, as well as other useless vintage parts.

It would be a bad thing to ruin this lovely piece of old dead cow skin. Remove the strap by undoing the two buckles. Set it aside until the end.

If yours is damaged, use the parts to make your own from some craft leather or fabric.

To open the back of the camera, you need to unlock it. Along the front is this latch.

Bring it down and the back should now be able to open.

Fold the doors out, first the outer door to the left, second, the inner door to the right.

 

To remove the back doors you need to pull the hinge pins. Grab pliers and a bent paperclip. I had an extra hinge pin lying around and used that.

Be careful not to scratch up the camera body when pushing and then pulling the pins. Not a big deal, but a scratch is a scratch.

To get the right side out you need to work within the tiny space between the finder and the hinge.
