A VK member sent me a surprise from Philadelphia .

A Fisher Price PXL 2000 video camera to play with!!!

So COOL!! and I remember always wanting to play with one of these but managed to always HEAR of it, but NEVER see one in person...and now I have what appears to be a well loved one, but looks to be in okay shape.

All I've done so far is put a bunch of AA batteries in it and see that it does appear to run a 90 minute high-bias tape at high speed in it's transport. I will hafta look for instructions on what exactly comes out of that RCA jack on the back. I suspect it's likely channel 3 RF...so will be easy to find an RF switch like the one I use for the Atari, and feed it directly to an external antenna on any number of my little mini B/W sets. (I'll find the PXL-2000 specific little monitor at some point....but that little "monitor" is really just a rebranded Magnavox Shadow I think).

It's beautiful timing....because this would be VERY fun to play with on the Singer TV6U I got going last night. How cool would that be...the pixelated B/W output to a trippy looking little industrial style TV set

Maybe I can find a simple "RCA to 1/8" adaptor at a Tandy store tomorrow. It would make that connection look real clean without the big switcher box.

Pictures.....as soon as I can get to 'em...DEFFINATLY!
