[rollei_list] "The internals of the [Rolleiflex] GX/FX are based on the Rolleiflex T" - ?

I just read the following on photo.net (at 
<http://www.photo.net/bboard/q-and-a-fetch-msg?msg_id=00BTcL>).

Is it true? Anyone? Richard? Marc?

[QUOTE]

The internals of the [Rolleiflex] GX/FX are based on the Rolleiflex T, 
not the F. The T, a cheapened version of the F, was the last Rolleiflex 
standing when the company went bankrupt and was the only tooling left, 
which is why the GX was built on the T mechanicals. In particular the 
film transport for the T is a cheaper design than the F. If you speak 
to someone who is a factory-trained Rolleiflex repairman they can give 
the whole detail.
