<p>Thanks, Steve, looks like this was the link</p>

<p>but thanks for the others!</p>

<p>I am still following this and was going to respond. I do have an 800 and wanted to convert it to packfilm but when I found this thread on using 120 it really piqued my interest. Later I found that some folks were converting them to 4x5, e.g. by Four Designs, but they're no longer offering that service.<br>

To clarify, were you me with an 800 would you avoid a 4x5 conversion and stick with medium format rollfilm?<br>

Also, does anyone have the info that Steve Smith referenced <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.f295.org/DIYforum/cgi-bin/forum/Blah.pl/Blah.pl?b-misEquip/m-1146826169/" target="_blank">(link)</a> - it no longer exists.</p>

<p>This is a great idea, thanks for sharing it! I have a Polaroid 800 that I'd like to modify to take 120/220 but would like to know if Minh or anyone else has some more detailed photos of the process. I tried following the link that Steve Smith referenced http://www.f295.org/DIYforum/cgi-bin/forum/Blah.pl/Blah.pl?b-misEquip/m-1146826169/ but it no longer exists. Thanks.</p>

Thanks so much for all the informative follow-ups, I was gifted a 200 and a 51-A and have been trying to find out as much about them as I could and this thread is by far the most detailed.

 

I have some additional questions...both units have a resistor pack sealed in clear plastic with two metal prongs and each unit has three slots into which the resistor can be fitted. What does the resistor do and what is the effect of using the resistor in each of the two possible positions as well as completely removed? Does this affect the WS output and if so what are the values?

 

Thanks!
