I'd hate to see this thread die before its time
Thought I'd put up some more shots; same setup as mentioned above.
I'm not too old but can recall a time when people chose 'not to waste their expensive video equipment' with this sort of thing.
real good that older stuff is still available in reasonable amounts.
For instance, the Olympus vcr that i'm using as a baseband - RF modulator was a curb find given to me by a friend.
