Some 35mm portrait device. Large cassettes! Maybe one of those new-fangled 'tape' cameras...

must have been for school portraits or some such! crazy build, for sure. more trouble than it is worth, probably.

thing looks like a geiger counter or something and not something to make photos.

Odd thing it is.

Anything that's a mix between a dictaphone tape machine and a camera can't possibly be good

The thing is most likely a school portrait camera. I remember seeing something this odd looking when I was a kid...

Makes me laugh whenever I see on TV a school photographer with a Hassy... something I feel is so far from reality it's unbelievable.

I'd love to go out and try shooting with that one~ but I might be stopped if I did, that camera looks like some weapon for the military!

I wonder what it weighs? ...and maybe it looks more like something out of starship troopers, haha!
