I must admit I do occasionally buy the odd vintage camcorder from time to time but they can be an absolute nightmare to strip down with 6 thousand screws Hidden all over the place. But the lenses come in handy and the ccd sensors can sometimes be quite cool. Nice video teardown as always 👍🏻
Unlikely, more like a mask ROM or something entirely analog - upd1796b googles to nothing :( usually, "D" means NEC upd series, can also be Sony CXD but these have a completely different look)
Is the large amount of shielding foil and copper for Faraday cage or x-ray ? P.$. don't throw away the base plate with the tripod mount - could be very useful. 👏👏👏👏🇦🇺
Usually, if one has the patience to salvage parts from camcorders ... you get a LOT of small trimpots, some SMD CMOS 4000 stuff, and sometimes the viewfinder is a monitor in itself - most other stuff is extremely video specific and useless for anything else, or not worth the effort. The drum might be useful as a bearing - I saw some projects where people used these as low friction reels for coil winders for very thin wires....
I worked at an independent warranty repair center in 1980. We repaired those JVC cameras. As you can see, they were not fun to work on.

Imagine repairing those for just a few quid, and the customer complaining it now doesn't quite work the way it did! "I won't my money back!"
24:38 now this is pretty neat. If must be flash memory of some kind
