There was no other information available, but this is a monochrome video camera, not color.


- It was used as a dummy camera for a period, so there are signs of dirt and wear.
- The exterior casing is damaged. There are repaired areas, and some parts have been secured with tape.
- Due to the damage, the top cover (exterior casing) cannot be closed and secured properly.
- Internal cables have been cut. There may have been some components in the upper section internally. It may be difficult to repair and make it operational.
- The rotating adjustment part around the lens, which is for focus adjustment or zoom (?), could be turned by hand.
- The camera lens is dirty, and there are chips on the edge of the rotating adjustment part.
- I have cleaned it with alcohol as much as possible, but there are areas that cannot be reached.


It is generally clean. It has been cleaned with alcohol.
Operation has not been confirmed, but the power turns on and the lamp lights up.


- There is a cable from the power unit to the video terminal. It is unknown if it is genuine, and its operation has not been tested.
- There is a partial cable from the power unit to the camera head unit. It is unknown if it is genuine, so please consider it as an image. (It is likely that it can be connected using an M-type connector + coaxial cable.)

This item is likely only of interest to collectors.
As this is a junk item, returns after purchase cannot be accepted. Please purchase with your understanding.
