Japanese TLR made for the Dutch distributor Fodor. Sold in The Netherlands and Belgium around the year 1957.[1]

The Fodor Record is a Rolleicord-inspired twin lens reflex for 6×6 images on 120 film. It is one of a number of very similar models (such as the Accuraflex) which have been attributed to Tougodo[2]. For a discussion of similar Tougodo models, see Toyocaflex.

Taking lens is a Tri-Lausar Anastigmat 1:3,5 f=8cm triplet. Viewer lens is a Tri-Lausar Viewer 1:3,5 f=8cm triplet.

The shutter (B, 1–300), is an unnamed leaf shutter and has a selftimer and flash synchronisation contact.
