I seem to remember a passport camera that had it's 4 lenses arrainged in what seemed like a big ol leaf shutter

it wasn't a cambo.. I know this because I recently bought one sight unseen and ..well..now I have a cambo passport I don't know what to do with

does anyone remember something like that??? can it be disassembled and the shutter used for LF lenses?

did I just wreck my chances of snaking it on ebay now?

That is a special Ilex shutter, NOT good for LF lenses. There is no diaphragm aperture, and there is a plate built in with 4 holes behind the lenses.
There are a few usable parts for repairs though.
