Probably wouldn't be too hard to replace the spring loaded platen

battery pack.
Piece of cake!
Not quite as easy as it might appear, the major issue lies with the
actual plane of focus on a sensor assembly vs the materials that
must be placed in front of the light sensitive surface. IOW the
sensor assembly would need to slightly protrude into the mirror box,
not a great situation when combined with a focal plane shutter ;-)
Any protective coverings would have to be thin enough they wouldn't
protrude materially beyond the film plane or the whole idea wouldn't work.
