Help with cartravision

If I remember correctly, it was back in the early 1970's and I was 16 or so there is a switch by the camera input jack for camera or input from tuner connector, make sure it is on camera so it will pass the camera video to the connector you are probing. All my friends thought I was crazy that I could make this pile of wires and chassis record TV in color. The first show I played for my premire was a Star Trek (of course) then they were throwing money at me to buy one for them and wire it up. The hardest part was finding a TV that had video outputs, when I tried to tap the video of a regular TV it would draw down the signal. I would up using a 9 inch B/W Sony monitor and nobody could understand how I was getting color from a B/W tv. Oh yeah I fed the output through a Channel 3/4 modulator.
