Developments with my homemade vidicon camera project

[Aussie Bloke]

G'day all.

In the past month I have finished off the construction of my homemade vidicon camera project and am now testing it and fixing bugs. So far no picture yet, however I am getting dashed lines moving across the screen in all directions. All the details of the vidicon camera can be seen on this page of my website http://www.troysvintagevideo.741.com/mycamera.html . I even made a video of what I'm so far getting on the TV screen http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6zW6y...layer_embedded .

Anyways Richard Diehl from www.labguysworld.com is kindly helping me out his wealth of technical knowledge on camera construction and electronics giving me technical advice to help get this camera working and also am getting techo advice from a couple of other contacts as well. So hopefully soon I will get this camera going and will make video demos of it in action. I have to of course get a better CRO with calibration to properly test the waveforms as my equipment is not quite up to par to do the job accurately.
