Thanks guys! - once I got it up on a tripod I found the badge on the bottom of the front standard (i had missed it when it was on the floor) - definitely a 2D. Just heavily modified. It's got a couple missing parts, the rear swing knobs have been removed/lost. Otherwise, it's in decent shape mechanically - the worst part is the bellows, and the physical appearance.
I'm going to attempt to make the bellows myself 1st and only if I fail will I buy a commercial replacement (camerabellows.com)
Frank, I picked it all up for $100 - came with a sliding 5x7 back, a 4x5 back, a 6x6 Packard shutter with 3 1/4th in. hole and 5 new blank lens boards.
Need to source an 8x10 back and the slider block.
What's the point of a sliding 5x7 back? So you can make 2 exposures on 1 piece of film? I don't think I need this back, I'd rather have a regular 5x7 back. And I don't need the 4x5 back either, I already have two 4x5's
I would trade someone the sliding 5x7 back for a regular 5x7 back... or an 8x10 back.
