[snip]
I would like to though, if I can find a winder that is both small and
quite and of course very well built. I would not want the grip style as
with the OM's, and single frame advance would be all it would have to do
(no rewind, or continuous advance). In my most jaded fantasies I would
love to find or make a winder that worked on a wind up spring of some sort
the would be small and very quite, and not require batteries. Just wind
the key every 36 exposures (I did say jaded). Anyone out there know of a
winder that might fit the bill? Or the Fantasy?

Find an old Ansco/GAF Memo or Memo II half-frame (c. 1965 - 1970). These
were also marketed under the Ricoh name with different model numbers. I
owned a Memo II more years ago than I will admit to. About the size of a
Rollei 35. Very compact; very good glass lens work. Has exactly what you
are looking for, a mechanical clock-work winder that will run about 30
exposures if fully wound when the roll is loaded. Quieter than the Winder
2, but still not nearly as quiet as manually winding! The mechanical
clockwork makes some noise too.
