New Leicina Speical accessories

Check this Spanish eBay seller who appears to be fabricating new Leicina Special accessories including something called a CBD005 cable which is the equivalent for Leitz's odd rectangular DIN pin configuration cable for the ST1 Controller, i.e.

Cool.

I have four original Leicina ST1 controllers, three in their original box, but only one with a cable. So would be interested in buying another cable (or two). But I see the new cables wouldn't actually connect the ST1 directly to the Leicina. You would need the new battery pack through which the ST1 can be connected (via CBD001) to the camera. I note the new battery pack also facilitates powering the camera from a wall socket, which the ST1 doesn't (without hacking).

I like the angle viewfinder that's also available. I found a Canon viewfinder last year that fit the Leicina viewfinder but had to remove the battery box to use it. The one available through ebay clears the battery box.

Ok. Just bought that viewfinder.
