Geoff,

Thanks for the lead - I have been looking for an auto-up for some time and managed to get hold of Gary at about 2130 local time here in Bristol, England.  The good news is that I will have an auto-up to use after Christmas :-)

Have just finished reconditioning a Rapid Omega (pre 100) which now accompanies me everywhere loaded with Ilford Delta 400.  In some ways these bodies are easier to use and more intuitive, although you can't change the backs mid-roll as you can on the 200 and "M" models.

Talking of "M"s, I now have a fairly rough model "M", but it is already responding to TLC.  Do any of you have scrap bodies/lenses that you would be willing to sell for donor parts, or failing that I have a list of small parts/screws required for the M.  Number one on the list is a darkslide - I could make one, however would prefer to spend the time on the mechanics of the camera.  Please contact me off the list if you are able to help.
