:) Nope. Not bidding. I check the site just to stay in touch with the 
market. I have a 645 and 6x9 Super Ikonta, each in EX condition. It took
me 
only about forty years and several bad buys to find the good ones. :)

No flash synch on mine. #40642xx. Where the ebay seller's camera has its 
flash synch, mine has a cable release socket. It looks entirely different.

Richard mentioned that perhaps one version had a shutter that worked only
on 
X. I can see how the shutter could have been made with a flash synch that 
replaced the cable release. But were there X (electronic) flashes back
then?

ASIDE: (I have a Russian device that adds a flash socket to these old 
cameras. It goes into the cable release socket and has a variable delay 
adjustment to synchcronize from X to M and longer.  Very, very cool little

thing. I came across it by pure luck.)
