It's alive! Andy Cuffe has had the Mavica for a while and it is back. He replaced by my count 64 surface caps. The camera is alive in it's 1988 analog glory. It does have a pixel problem across the screen on one row. The pixel count is .28megapixels and looks like that. But there is no other working version of this Sony recalled camera that I can find. 1988 introduced and recalled shortly after. The next Sony Mavica cam was 1996.
I have a few photos of the ballpark but I have to move them to a DVD via the only analog output of this cam and then screen cap them via that DVD from VLC to show them here. Andy moved forward on my battery solution to the camera battery and it is working for multiple photos. Stay tuned.
No wonder this thing died and Sony wanted it killed.
