        What a world we live in! LabGuy is now shopping the flea markets of Moscow! Thank you, internet! This camera bares an uncanny resemblance to the [Sony AVC-3400] right down to it's militarized EIAJ compatible 10 pin connector! The magnifier eyepiece got damaged in shipping.

        Another remarkable property of this camera is its use of a half inch diameter vidicon tube! It is the smallest I have ever seen.

        I recently found a small picture of this camera along with its portable VTR. The Electronika model 501. Sweet! It looks like the system designer's goal was to copy the Sony 3400 system. In engineering, this is a valid method of setting your design target. It looks like they were very successful. Anybody got one of these for sale? Anybody know the name of the designer?
