The 1967 Vidicon camera
Posted: Wed Jun 03, 2020 9:21 pm
Thanks to our member Troy he got me onto this camera on ebay it was a pickup only 24Km from me
This i plan looking into fixing in the future perhaps after the NBTV Television Analyst is done
Its a ITC Viewfinder TV Camera VF 302 made in 1967 almost as old as me a Transistor job needs a bit of work as you can see but in a good state for over 50 years least the vidicon is still working its light sensitive crt viewfinder works some of the pots are worn out and i would think a lot of caps need replacing after all those years
Same camera and number but different letter name GBC i think this is the USA 525 line version i don't like their lens thing perhaps an early motor lens control

Yes not in the best of shape but the vidicon and crt still seem fine ...B/w cameras from this time are pretty rare first i have ever come across .
