This is a sample recording made today (June 11th 2014) on a vintage Akai VT110 portable video recorder ( 5" reel ) using the Akai VC115 B/W camera with Akai Zoom lens.
The picture is a bit bright as it was very sunny and I was trying NOT to catch the sun with the lens. As can be seen, there is very little "noise" on the picture so looks like the heads are still in good condition.
This outfit will shortly be advertised for sale on eBay, unusual to find one of these in working order!! so if you are a collector of these things this could be of great interest.
