Examples:
History For Hire I believe have refitted their old camera props with modern cameras to make them look to be operational, check out Outkast's music video "Hey Ya" which a RCA TK-41 and RCA TK-60 appears in this clip in working condition:

Aussie camera collector James Paterson (austvarchive) has cosmetically restored one of his PYE MKIII cameras in which he refitted the camera head with a Sony vidicon camera to make it a functional prop:

And I recall seeing either a thread in Videokarma or on some other website (can't remember for the life of me), someone who owned I think a RCA TK-11 had refitted it with a modern colour CCD camera due to the fact the camera's original electronics got destroyed in a flood.
