Hmmm. I didn't know about the M42 mount but see that you are right. If
I get back there I'll have to take another look. The only thing I do
recall was that it has some sort of strange looking latch mechanism near
one end. I don't recall seeing threads but they could have been covered
up with a cap. I never took it out of the case and inspected it
thinking it was an odd-ball bayonet mount.
