I can't be the only one that saw this oddball ULF artifact on Ebay, I bought it. :)

https://www.ebay.com/itm/11x14-Camera-/273728968731?_trksid=p2047675.l2557&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&nma=true&si=I34KHS0scEos0TkAyvloL4Np1hw%253D&orig_cvip=true&nordt=true&rt=nc

It just got here. I bought for parts. The very heavy duty bail back is worth more than the price I paid. I can easily enlarge the GG hole.

It is sized perfectly for 11X14 holder's outside measurement. It's made for something else. But what?

Most likely I will use the bail back on one camera and use the cone for another. 4 screws to take it apart.

The GG T dimension is spaced way higher than any other ULF by aluminum bars. More parts!

Ideas?

I have no idea and i am not trying to use handheld

The parts are worth more than the whole

To me

Maybe Kowa Graphic of some sort?

It is another naive cobbled home-made atrocity.

Never mind the brand but the focal length for it would be untenable handheld.

Probably, but if the film back has the correct film registration at least that part could be used.

Oh, agreed.

I was just guessing from the length that it looked like ~270 to 305mm.

Something like that, an impossible task for our hands. Especially with that kind of a beast.

Cobble up some story about the SR71 spy plane and put it back on ebay.
