There is a user on Photrio that regularly commits that crime for something like $300, and I was considering buying one from him. I think modifying a camera to accept commercially available film is a perfectly acceptable thing to do. Its just a thing. And respooling forward as you describe it, isn't particularly useful. I've had my go at trying to adapt film to something that takes no-longer-available film--never again. Throw it in the dumpster if the camera itself can't be adapted.
