Wow! I was thinking about this exact project, and poof! someone else has already done the hard work.
Thank you so much for sharing. Much appreciated.

It wasn’t that hard, I was just really lucky with my pick. This laser pointer was 3x more expensive than the usual "cat toy" 5 bucks laser pointers. But that brass tip was the crucial puzzle piece.
If you lift up the leather cover on top of the RF, you MAY find the hole for a Kalart Focuspot. (Don't know if this applies to your model Technika).

No, not on mine. I’ve stripped it completely and ordered a new leatherette from cameraleather.com.
Nice. I'd have to go look to be certain, but I think the Kalart on my Speed Graphic has the Focuspot port. I might have to fabricate a mount for a small laser pointer for that. I've wanted to do some hand-held night photography (I've got a film/developer combination that gives an honest EI 5000 with reasonable contrast); the ability to focus accurately while composing would complete the capability.
If a contact print at arm's length is too small to see, you need a bigger camera. :D
