Tim, Here is a link to a page I put together: http://www.speakeasy.org/~jlmoore/speedioscope.htm I used a Graflex "Speed-i-o-Scope" shutter & added a pinhole to it... The Speed-i-o-scope is basically a re-badged Ilex Universal #3, which are easy to clean up & seem to be plentiful on eBay. I've also used the Wollensak "Alphax" shutter, but they tend to be a bit more costly at times.
You can also use most of the shutters off of the older folding cameras, like the Kodak 3A, as long as it has a T(ime) or B(ulb) setting. I like to use the type that accepts a shutter release, rather than just the release arm. Some of the older pnuematic shutters, like the Unicum, also work well- but they are also trickier to repair if they're in bad shape. I've had no compunction about taking apart some of the old folders, especially when the bellows are shot & the lenses look like a moss field.
