Cameraman Malcolm Carr demonstrates the EMI 2001 

@@dogbreaththe3rd851 Langrex would be the people to get the tubes from. They have most stuff

With Langrex ? I think the chap down there is called James Reed, he knows lots of stuff

@@dogbreaththe3rd851 yes that is true, but this camera was in use until the 90's, maybe Schofield will sell his as it is just a relic on his mantelpiece

This was recorded at BBC Pebble Mill, which was demolished in 2005 : en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pebble_Mill_Studios

Pity it wasn't plugged in

@@dogbreaththe3rd851 You see years ago people had "Common Sense", Now everything is "Risk Assessed" in case some poor little sweetheart darling trips over a camera cable and needs a plaster on their knee !!

@@dogbreaththe3rd851 You seem to know more about these cameras than I do. Shock hazard, well not if you have the certificate to say you have passed your "Common Sense" examination. I have regularly been inside old school TV sets with 25+ KV inside - use Ski Gloves I did. It works !! Alternatively, keep one hand behind your back at all times. I would just love the opportunity to restore an EMI2001. Head valves for the amplifiers are likely to still be available. I believe some of the early versions of the 2001 were valve on the head inputs and transistor everywhere else. What I would give for a nice 400V B+ line (Valve enthusiasts will know exactly what I mean)
