I have one here..


About 30 years ago .

I found it dumpster diving at my old APT along with a NEC or Fisher Stereo Betamax.

It was my daily driver until I got a Sony CCD-V8AF camcorder from a friend about 5 years later..

There was nothing wrong with both units except clean off the kitty litter on top of the Betamax machine.. Lucky none got into the VCR and camcorder set.

It used a 8 volt rechargeable battery .The 2 batteries were stone dead and gone so I had to make a 8 volt adapter with a adjustable regulator ic and it was connected to a 12 volt alarm battery for power.

The camcorder ran forever with that battery setup.

I recorded the entire town Bicentennial parade with the Kodak camcorder.

Sorry for the long post..

Take care all...
