   One of my youtube-channel viewers wanted to improve his picture. 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

   and after replacing the r10 with 120 ohms resistor. He says it looks better   
   than on his camera though.
