Does anyone know anything about this camera? I found it at an antique store for $10. It has a 45mm 1.8 Tosicor lens, a Citizen 1-1/500 shutter, shutter priority plus manual. Everything seems to work. The battery was missing, so no corrosion. The focus is stiff, but it moves. The JCI sticker has a 1/74 date. It came with the instruction manual. All that I have been able to find is that Burstein-Applebee was an electronics mail order company that went out of business in 1980. They probably had the camera made for them under contract. It looks nearly the same as a Taron Auto-EL.
Thanks

This sounds to me like a rebadge of a Ricoh model. However, I'm not 100% about that.
