Here is the first look at my latest Akai VT-150 color video tape recorder that uses quarter inch video tape and mating two tube color camera. Recently obtained from a nice fellow in Canada. I give a quick and dirty run through of the features and operation of the portable color recording system. It is in rough condition. But, not as rough as the first two complete outfits that I purchased which do not operate at all. The first one cost me $1,600 on Ebay many years ago. Since then, I paid $750 a piece for the second one and for this one. I finally have one of these that actually runs well enough to begin full operational restoration. Apparently, the color camera is also operational as demonstrated to me by the seller. I hope to take this system to the Early Television Foundation convention in Columbus, Ohio next year and show it off there.
