Nope.  I wanted one with a wide-angle field of view, so I did a lot more hacking, including a radical bellowsectomy.  The details of my conversion of a Billy Record are in a photo.net thread: http://photo.net/bboard/q-and-a-fetch-msg?msg_id=00Cn9Z.  The main issue was working out the placement of the pinhole disk in the lens mount so that there would be no vignetting.  I have also since dispensed with the 35mm add-on viewfinder as it only showed about a third of the field.

Hmm, I can't think of a folder of that vintage that made 6X7 negatives. It looks to me like 6X9, which would be more appropriate. I think I have bought from that seller in the past.

Yep, it's almost certainly a (nominal) 6x9 -- 56x85 mm, near enough.  In fact, it looks rather like a Franka Rollfix of some flavor.  Doesn't really matter after the conversion, the cheap lens is long gone and if it's light tight, it's probably worth the $10 starting bid.  Shipping isn't bad, either.  Too bad he/she didn't include a photo taken *with* the camera...
