If you really want to shoot film through it, let me know what number autographic it is and I'll help you out. I had a 1A I believe, that took 120 film, and that stuff is very available. The bellows looked great but were not light-tight.
If you take a penlight and shine it from inside the bellows, look at all the corners in a dark room. I bet you see a lot of pinholes. Can be fixed by "painting" the bellows with some substance, don't remember which.
A friend makes a living producing bellows for old film cameras.
Oh and I'll add my current daily shooter:
Polaroid 110a, which has been converted to use modern Polaroid and Fuji instant packfilm. Takes incredible photos. I also have a Kodak Retina IIIc and Rolleicord V I try to exercise, and a Stereo Realist for vacations.
