      On Facebook the Vintage camera group think the clear top was for shop demonstration purposes. Here is some imformation in regard to the model and make.

      Ricoh Co., Ltd. is one of Japan's largest, experienced and diverse manufacturers. With over 16,000 employees in Japan and abroad, as well as overseas branches in the USA, Europe and Asia, Ricoh has the total capability to develop, produce and sell a wide range of products. Ricoh is perhaps best known for its advanced information handling systems. A full lint up of office automation that includes minicomputer data processors, word processing equipment, copying machines, a telephone facsimile transceiver, data retrieval equipment and more. Ricoh is also one of the largest producers of LSI circuits and other sophisticated electronics.

      With this kind of technological expertise, it's not surprising that Ricoh also makes some of the world's finest photographic equipment. Ever since the introduction of the Olympic 35mm camera in 1938, Ricoh has been responsible for countless innovations and renowned for Total Quality Control. Chosen the official camera of the 1964 Tokyo Olympics

      Ricoh XR-2s is a feature-packed K-mount SLR made by Ricoh It s very well-designed and has many nice and features (a multi-exposure device) that would make it a great body in a K-mount kit.
      Quite obvious is that the quality of Ricoh cameras is better than expected. according to their prices. The price/quality relation is far better than you may assume. Ricoh only lacks the highly affordable Brand name. http://www.thecamerasite.net/.../Pages/ricoh%20xr%202s.htm
