If you can remember, did you have a Lynx 14, or a member of the more common Electro 35 series?

One was a twin-lens reflex like the Rollei, and the other could have been either one the Electro, or the Lynx. I remember paying close to 200 bucks for it, back in 1970 or so. I didn't have it very long before it got stolen.
