Restoring an Old S-VHS Journalist Reporter Camera | Retro Repair Guy Episode 12

The Retro Repair Guy restores a vintage camcorder, the Panasonic AG-450 S-VHS Reporter Camera, from 1991. For this retro restoration, I had to recap the power supply of this old VHS video camera to future-proof it. I also cleaned the VCR mechanism and the casing. This Reporter Camcorder is now ready for some new retro-tech action.

The twelfth episode of the Retro Repair Guy. A series aimed at retro and vintage electronic repair and restoration.
