Hi: This is probably one of the JVC cameras from the mid-1980s. Usually they had a multi-pin cable (about 6 feet) that came out the back and inserted into a VCR. However, the VCRs weren't like the ones we buy today. They were in 2 pieces and one of those pieces let you insert a video tape. Sometimes you can find these on Ebay under vintage video cameras or vintage VCR. They usually go for about $15 with shipping $10 to $20. You need both pieces in good working condition. However, it sounds like you don't know if the camera works. You might have your son take the camera to a repair shop run by someone who has a lot of old stuff. He/She may have an old 2-unit VCR the camera can be cabled to so that you can find out if the camera works. I would do that before spending more money on a VCR. You also might try Googling the model number and try to find the manual for the camera. Good luck. Lee
