He told me he       had the 5 pin video connector and PCASSY 326298 REV A 1982. NTSC. It had been       sitting in a warehouse for 30+ years (!), and yes it had the R10 300 ohms       resistor. I asked him        to replace it and it gave better picture. Let me know if you'd like me to ask       him more about the serial no etc.              His picture before       http://pixs.ru/showimage/image300oh_5685260_20066732.png              and after replacing the r10 with 120 ohms resistor. He says it looks better       than on his camera though.       http://pixs.ru/showimage/image100oh_5373405_20066734.png              My channel:       https://www.youtube.com/user/bbytew              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: Agency HUB, Dunedin - New Zealand | Fido<>Usenet Gateway (3:770/3)    |
