A rare opportunity to own a piece of broadcast history. This is a vintage Ikegami HL-79D 3-tube professional video camera, complete with a period-correct Fujinon A14x9.5F zoom lens. The camera is in remarkable cosmetic condition for its age.
Most importantly, the internal electronics are exceptionally clean, showing no signs of common age-related issues like capacitor leakage or burn marks. Please view all high-resolution photos, including the detailed pictures of the internals, as they are the primary description of the item and its condition. Fujinon A14x9.5F ERM-1 Zoom Lens (9.5-133mm, f/1.7). NOT Included: No power supply, batteries, CCU, carrying case, or any other accessories are included.
Camera Body: Overall, the body is in excellent vintage condition with some scuffs, scratches, and paint wear consistent with professional use in a studio environment. No major dents, cracks, or signs of being dropped. Lens: The lens body is in very good shape. The focus and zoom rings appear to move smoothly. The glass appears clear, but please note it has not been professionally tested for optical clarity, fungus, or haze. Connectors: All external ports and connectors appear clean and undamaged. This is what sets this camera apart.
This suggests storage in a controlled environment. No Obvious Failures: A visual inspection of the internal boards shows no obvious signs of bulging or leaking capacitors, burn marks, or heat-damaged components. Appears Complete & Original: All internal processing boards appear to be present, and the wiring looks to be factory-original, with no signs of amateur or sloppy repairs. This unit is COMPLETELY UNTESTED. We do not have the required external power supply or batteries to attempt to power it on.
This is an ideal piece for a collector, a historian, a prop for a film or television production, or an electronics enthusiast who may wish to restore it.
