My working homemade Iconoscope camera
G'day all. It's been a long while since I last posted in these forums as my focus has been on other things but over the past 2 years I have been on and off working on building a solid state Iconoscope camera using my early 1940s RCA 1846 Iconoscope tube!
Construction was slow between 2013 and 2014 but since late 2014 it was full steam ahead as I decided to rough the camera together using the video/deflection circuits from my homemade vidicon camera http://troysvintagevideo.0catch.com/mycamera.html and using a 30mm RCA vidicon yoke that originated from a telecine machine as Richard Diehl suggested these could work enough to drive the tube's deflection and output a picture so I went with it. I have just recently completed construction on the camera and low and behold it outputs a picture https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OnRqjQO3twY !!! :D The picture of course is very crude but it works and the tube is good! :) All the construction details along with video logs on my camera can be seen on my site http://troysvintagevideo.0catch.com/...peproject.html , there's 5 pages worth. Now that it's making a crude picture I intend on refining the camera to make even better pictures so the project continues..... |
You've done an amazing job so far. I can't wait to see it once you've better refined the picture quality.

WOW, that is quite amazing!
Thank you very much for sharing your project with us. |
That is amazing, very careful neat work on those boards ! !
Thanks, please put up more ! ! On your webpage, you should give it a title - something descriptive, like "Homebrew Iconoscope Video Camera" let more people find it and possibly offer some of their input or knowledge... Looks great ! ! . |
