What do you guys make of this:
Showed up in one of my saved searches this morning.
Outwardly, it looks like a standard production Kodak Ektra. The most obvious difference being that it has a brass mount for a sliding viewfinder mask added. I would presume this is the supplemental viewfinder lens for the 35mm focal length, but mounted such that it can be kept on the camera at all times.
Additionally it has the later style slow speed dial and exposure counter knob found on the known examples of the Ektra II, such as the example that came up for auction a few years ago seen below:
You can also note that the Ektra II has a frame with mounting screws around the viewfinder, the location of those screws matches with the brass mount seen on the mystery camera. The mystery camera does not feature the viewfinder control dial that only goes to 150mm though, retaining the earlier style that goes to 254mm.
Serial number seems to be 5700 or thereabouts.

It got brought pretty quickly after I posted this, so I'd wager one of you found it interesting enough.

Did you end up purchasing this? I bought the other parts body he had but hesitated too long on this one. DanWhat do you guys make of this:
