The RCA DSP3 CC439(A VHS Camcorder)

[@ct92404]

That's a pretty cool camera. It would be pretty standard for the time, although I'm surprised a camcorder that late was still using full-size VHS tapes. As I remember, most video cameras were already using mini tapes and there was an adaptor so that you could play the tape in a regular VCR. (Or usually you could also just hook up RCA audio-video cables from it to your tv). It looks nice and well made though. Those old VHS cameras were pretty tough, people tended to handle them kind of rough and banged them around, and they still worked!

I don’t have any knowledge on video cameras but I’m looking to buy one for music videos, ideally I really need a vintage/retro camera that takes USB, what would you recommend for me?

Just found My Grandpas CC433 anyone know where to get a battery?

[@austinmchristy]

what kind of power supply are you using? i lost the original power supply and all my other 9v power supplies are too big to fit in the DSP3 port. any help appreciated!

[@IronKingIronKing]

I use a universal power supplies, I highly recommend them when you start collect cameras

[@austinmchristy]

@@IronKingIronKing thank you! i found a power supply laying around that works. anytime i try to put a tape in mine it turns on, then shuts off after like 2 seconds. do you know what this issue could be?

[@IronKingIronKing]

Well, if its a original power supply, then I really don't know, but if its a third party one, it could be just not getting enough power

[@austinmchristy]

@@IronKingIronKing interesting thanks

[@IronKingIronKing]

Huh, weird, and the fast forward button isn't stuck down?

[@Awsometurtle20]

@@IronKingIronKing I don't think so I pause it and I put play and it fastfowards it might be stuck but I'm not sure

[@Awsometurtle20]
