If you are a nerd that needs to scratch the itch of fixing and using video gear from the mid 1970s; look no further!This is listing is one of a kind:Back when broadcasting first started expanding into the consumer market, this system by Sony was revolutionary; specifically because this was one of the first portible video cameras with color, and surprisingly only using one tube to do so.So what\'s up with it?I\'ve tested it; everything does in fact turn on.AC Adaptor turns on ✅️
AC Adaptor successfully supplies power to the Camera Control Unit✅️
Camera Control Unit successfully powers the camera✅️I\'ve Gone ahead and put the video output of the CCU into a capture card. Here\'s where things get tricky:
The image is very, VERY faint, and after being turned on for a while, there only remains a gray/blank image. I\'ve adjusted the hue & white balance on the CCU, which turns the color of said grey image. I\'m thinking it\'s either the sensor or the Trinitorn tube, both within the camera itself. I\'m almost 90% sure that if you happen to find another listing for the DXC-1600 Camera itself, the AC adaptor and CCU will power it successfully.One things for sure: I garentee that no one else out there has sold all three units together for quite some time, so this is a rare opportunity to own both a bit of history & a interesting science project.
