There is a pic of one with the sideplate removed & drawbar resting on the slide in Nonte's book Pistolsmithing...Not too clear (B&W pic)...I remember reading about the conversion, and Nonte states that the conversion only cost $100 (book is dated 1974)...

My inflation calculator says that is $466.16 in todays dollars...

Anybody got a good pic of one with the sidecover removed???

Ah! Here's one...Hmmmm...That's from an auction -
