Akai VT-110

[jlb2]

Hi Lutello,

I see that you need the service manual for your VT-110 I have not found it for free, but googling "Akai VT-110 service manual" should bring up a few sites that sell service manuals. Just FYI I found the manual for my VT-120 on manualscenter.com, I think they have the manual for the VTS-110 which is the VT-110 set with camera and power supply. No affiliation, I just happen to have bought a manual from them.

I don't know for sure, it's not shown in the manualsand there is no marking.

The motors on mine did not need oiling, and I don't think you can open them anyway. Give them a running test, and if they are noisy think about what you can do - but even if they're completely dry thay will not die of running for a few seconds.

It's easy to tell, the VC115 is the version with an electronic viewfinder and a C mount lens. Both cameras were compatible and I remember seeing VT-110 ads with a VC-115 camera. That's a good find
