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 !!! 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.

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 ! ! .
