I can't find any information about it online. Found some old websites where they have showcased the progression of the Iloca lineup, but it doesn't show this particular variety. Perhaps it is some obscure "in between" model which is not unheard of when it comes to German mid-century cameras.
Iloca Electric Texograph 2, T2
If anybody is interested I want a million dollars.

after looking some more there really isn't anything about it that i can find. Maybe it's some pre production model or a prototype? Could be worth something. looks in pretty good nick too

Graflex is the rebrand, Iloca is the real brand.

Interestingly googling the "Texograph 2, T2" gives only photos of a completely different camera. The mystery continues. I highly doubt there are many collectors of these things around though, most information about this particular brand are on old websites and some even archived which means the boomers that had an above average interest in them are probably passed away. It is always interesting when something like this comes along and there is no way of researching value.

Probably. I only had to sell a couple of those cameras to break even so if reducing my cost of camera gear makes me autistic then yes.

Also, the camera has a eurygon 35mm f4 lens attached to it which also isn't that common on these cameras, but it is a DKL mount from my understanding so that may have been swapped sometime along the way, but perhaps it was original and has to do with some specific purpose this was marketed towards in technical fields beyond photography.

Another interesting aspect of the Iloca Electric is that it is said to be the very first camera with electric motor wind.
