Got this on ebay, hasn't arrived yet, but when I found out it was made
by Bilora for Sears, went for it:

The Ebay button doesn't take you to the link for some reason...

GREAT buy! Sometimes these boxes will knock your socks off! It's such a great format. I look forward to images..any images..from the old box!

It looks to be in pristine condition. Shocked

Hope so Larry, will take a better pic of it when it arrives. Got a bunch
of 120 film I want to shoot up! Everything outside is still pretty much a
study in browns and grays right now, looking forward to the greens and
the flowers!

Arrived today, and all it needs is a little cleaning and the red plastic
thingy over the frame counter needs to be reglued:

I don't think you can go much cheaper to get into 6x9.

Thanks, Poilu and Richard!

Yes, I'm quite happy with this purchase which was only $14.30 with
shipping!

I should've taken a pic of the top of the camera that has what looks like
two terminals for flash. Also, the adjustment plate on the front that reads
"B" and "I"--wonder if that is for one flash and both flashes going off(?)
