Some cool retro video cameras from the early 80's using the Saticon tube All three seem to share the same fault. With no service manual I will atempt to fault find and repair.
Found a JVC GZ-S3 for 20$ at a local store. The seller and I have no idea if it works or not since buttons labels are in Japanese. Couldn’t find any details on internet about this unit. Couldn’t figure out on how to turn it on, if there’s a charger I could buy somewhere, what kind of memory it records on, or video quality it shoots. I’m hesitant whether or not I should get it. Would appreciate if you could help with any information above.
And here is a video showing you what you can get to record with today instead of tape. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-5A9Pr3t68jw.html
