1964 Packard-Bell model 920 industrial B&W vidicon camera

This is an early fully transistorized B&W vidicon camera for industrial use. Made in 1964, just a year before consumer video cameras started to come out. It is a good example of early 60s electronics, it's all made of metal, very well built, very durable. It uses a 1 inch vidicon, type unknown. Very simple operating, with very little controls, all controls being on the back; photo 3, controls from top to bottom: beam, target, and focus pots, dead spider, UHF video out, power input, mechanical focus, and power switch. To the right of the focus knob is a power light, and to the left is a 0.5 amp fuse.

It opens up easily, with two Philips screws on each side. I bought this camera at the 2025 ETF convention, when I saw it buried in a pile of boxes in the warehouse. I have powered the camera up, and it is not functioning. The vidicon heater comes on, but no video output, and I don't believe there is H or V scanning. Once I get the service manual, I can continue with the repairing.
