According to MODERN STEREO EQUIPTMENT, written by P3D member Harry
Poster, the Tower is the Iloca II camera imported by Sears.

He also says "Repairs to lens and shutter requires the removal of the
center wheel.  It is a complicated system of gears and levers.
Reassembly is quite difficult.  The shutter mechanism is beneath the
lenses,  The top housing covers wind, rewind, and counter gears".

It is a 5-perf Realist-format camera.

My Iloca II works quite well as a paper weight! ;(
