Socket Use

Not that I am aware of (I think the only Sony video camera manual I have is for a monochrome unit with a vidicon tube that goes with a portable reel-to-reel video recorder -- yes I have the unit, it still works [1]). But I will check. Have you checked the usual companies for such manuals? [1] The heads got wrecked by a wonderful -- NOT piece of corner-cutting. The head design is a bit like a Betamax machine in that the entire drum is stationary, there's a head beak with a head on each end that spins in a gap between the upper and lower drums. Anyway, said head beam is mounted on a disk on top of one of the motors, and said disk is held to the motor spindle by a nut. It should be a left-hand thread (so that it self-tightens when in operation), it's not. If it works loose, the heads clatter against the edge of the top drum with obvious results. Anyway, I managed to fit and align the heads taken from a Betamax head disk onto the origianl beam... -tony
