Teardown - Underwater Television Camera | a tube camera in a tube

in which I take apart this industrial tv camera and see if I can get it working.
Here's what I could find out about the company that made it (Hydro Products): openthepast.wo...
They made all sorts of underwater cameras, including some marketed as "radiation tolerant" which makes sense given the vidicon tube camera nature.

I never thought I would be Rickrolled by a 1970s underwater inspection camera.

OMG! I worked at Hydro Products for over 6 years! That camera was before my time. The TC-125 was the one I worked on. I began as a tech at Hydro, went into field service, and then the Marketing/Sales department. Traveled quite a bit in those days: Brussels, Belgium, Aberdeen, Scotland, and many U.S. cities.

Those soft trails are like no other.
Also electromechanical goodness.

That's some very pretty stuff

[@UQRXD]

The internals are very much like old satellite circuits stacked. Makes me think of old TV show Sea Hunt.
