The Brownie Cresta (without a #) uses 120. I don't know
that they were ever sold in the states but you can find
them on ebay once in a while. Mine has a delightfully sharp
lens.
What about one of the myriad 120 box cameras that take 6x6 or
6x9? They are very easy to disassemble, with simple lenses
and shutters that could be removed. Anyone used one of them
for a pinhole camera?
