196?: Concord TCM-50 Small Studio Vidicon
Camera.
.
A classic small studio
camera. Millions of us used these in small studios in our schools, chrches
and corporate production studios over the years. This one has a one inch
vidicon, five inch viewfinder, a 25mm to 100mm four to one f 1.8 zoom lens.
On the side of the camera are vidicon controls for setting BEAM, FOCUS
and TARGET voltages. The viewfinder has your noraml CONTRAST and BRIGHTNESS
controls. There is a back focus knob for setting the proper point on a
zoom lens or for easily focus a standard fixed lens if desired. I have
no idea what year this camera was made, but from the looks of it, it was
made in the late 1960's. This camera is fully operational and exhibits
extremely low lag under adverse lighting conditions. This indicates a good
design in the automatic light control circuit in this product.
NEEDED: Service manuals
for this camera.
