Yes and no! The BICC Mk4b cable and the T1889 cable (the thin stuff with the aluminium connectors known as Mk8 cable) are both wired the same, so the older Mk4 cable can be used with a Marconi Mk VIII camera.

It not so clear cut the other way round. I would not be happy because of the voltage and current ratings of the cable. The Marconi Mk IV sends mains (240v AC) up the cable. and ht at 250 -330 volts. Some of the T1889 cable cores are rated at 50volts dc others are at 400v RMS, it would need a lot of checking and looking at the pin outs for both cameras to see what is were!

I would not do it unless I were utterly desperate.

Brian

I have one Mark IV camera head and CCU's power supplies cables, etc. for three. They were a part of my DuMont Telecruiser which came from WFAA, Channel 8 in Dallas. I would love to find at least one more camera head so I could reunite this stuff with the bus. You can see more at www.telecruiser.com and www.chalkhillmedia.org/Museum

I have camera head SN:200. I also have power supply units, CCU's and sets of cables for three MK-IV cameras. They were a part of the DuMont Telecruiser project I'm restoring. www.telecruiser.com I would be most interested in acquiring a second camera head, so I could install two of them in the Telecruiser.

I assume you mean the EP8 pulse connector that Marconi often used on their kit. Paul Marshall is the man to give an authoritative answer but I think it's:

Pin 1: Line (Horiz) Drive
Pin 7: Field (vert) drive
Pin 5: Mixed blanking
Pins 3 & 8: Ground

Other pins unused. Mixed sync has its own PL259 conenctor.

I sure wish I'd known about it. I would have paid considerably more than the winning bid.
