        What a world we live in! LabGuy is now shopping the flea markets of Moscow! Thank you, internet!
        This camera bares an uncanny resemblance to the [Sony AVC-3400] right down to it's militarized EIAJ compatible 10 pin connector! The magnifier eyepiece got damaged in shipping, but I believe the Sony replacement part will work. Stay tuned!
        Another remarkable property of this camera is its use of a half inch diameter vidicon tube! It is the smallest I have ever seen.
