RCA TK-30A Schematic

yes sadly you've destroyed any historical and monetary value it may have had by removing the original components, the value of an shell/non original camera is a lot less than with its original parts, whatever state they were in.

Sadly i see this quite often, pulling the guts out of old gear and putting new stuff in. I'd almost call it vandalism.

If you wanted a "working" prop there are plenty of ways to achieve that now without gutting the original parts.
