I suppose the first choice you have to make is whether to go 'afocal' or 'direct projection'

You should ask einman he has a Leitz Diaplan with what looks like a camera mounting on the phototube.

See here: viewtopic.php?t=6034

Hope that helps he may be able to tell you where he got it, or how he did it and what the part number is.
