Swinging away from consumer cameras, I was given an early RCA TK30 broadcast camera chain about 20 years ago. The chain includes the camera head, Camera Control Unit and Power Supply. It is minus the Sync Pulse Unit but I have an older Grass Valley Sync Pulse generator which provides the various pulses it requires. I need however to build a DC level shifter and amplifier to provide the exact pulse amplitude and phase.

I have picked up a few 1850 Image Orthcon tubes for is some of which were attested good years ago. I long ago picked up a new old stock camera cable cheaply from the former Gateway Electronics store in St Louis. The cable was intended for later IO cameras. The TK30 required over a thousand volts for the dynodes in the tube and included a speciallially insulated wire for it in the original cable. I plan to incorporate a HV supply local to the camera head.

I also have a Houston Fearless tripod and dolly for the head.

I dont know if any of you have an interest in these things.
