Hey everyone, I love the responses, thank you! Makes countless hours at the workbench and numerous trips to one of three hardware stores (because they each have different inventory) more fun!
Unfortunately the back does not remove, mostly because I got a bunch of ‘old camera that you might be interested in...’ from a friend and he only had the GG back and frame and not the entire rear standard. I pulled the 8 Deardorff pins out and have them if anyone needs them. Close focus isn’t horrible but it isn’t the best, I haven’t indexed the helical yet, once I do, I’ll share what it is.

UPDATE: 11 feet 6 inches is the closest focus, the helical is indexed from 12 feet to infinity.
