If you have the right lenses, like the 53mm the lenses were salable and were scavanged for use on other cameras.
Also these cameras; Technika Press, Press 70, Aero 70, Electric 70, do not have any view camera movements so the Super Technika 23 and the Technika 70 were far more salable. As well as being lighter and more versatile.
