Either of the 120 format cameras will work fine. Much more difficult
to get film for 127 format.
I have converted an Ansco Viking 6x9 to pinhole by removing the
bellows and fold-out front and gluing a plate over the front of the
camera. Very wide-angle -- 29mm focal length. Shutter is made of a
hinged, flat refrigerator magnet.
I just recently converted an Agfa B2 Speedex Jr. Simple TIME/INST
shutter. Easy to remove lens elements. By retaining the fold-out
front and bellows, it is a 90mm focal length camera.
My favorite conversion is a Ferrania Eura, also with a hinged magnet
shutter. Kind of an upscale Holga camera. Quite light weight. Not
easy to find, and I've seen people pay ridiculous prices ($65-125).
I found one with a scratched lens for $7, so I did not feel bad
converting it.

With which of the following cameras would I be more likely to have
success in converting it to a pinhole camera.
120 format - Ventura 66 Deluxe (made in Germany)
127 format - Brownie Reflex - Synchro Model (made by Eastman Kodak Co.,
N.Y.)
120 format - Ansco Viking (made by Agfa Camera Werk, Munchen, U.S.Zone,
Germany)
Thanks in advance for any suggestions.
