Not only can you use a Panasonic PV-5000 series but you can use the Quasar VP435 series VTR too. I happened to find a junker Quasar and cannibalized the 10-pin jack (not a 8-pin as some have incorrectly stated). You can buy this jack for around $20.00 USD on the Internet at the Crutchfield Parts Search at tinyurl DOT com/3yc2dv You are looking for 1 0f 2 JACKS. I do not know which one is the 10-pin. JACK Panasonic VEKS1134 $17.61 JACK Panasonic VEKS1135 $20.47 Here is the pin out for the camera cable. You will need a 12vdc regulated power supply that can handle a 12v 6 watt camera (e.g. Canon VC-30). Radio Shack sells them. PINS 1. Video out (REC)/in (PLAY) 2. Ground for pin 1 3. Not used or tally 4. Ground for pin 5 or serial clock in (depends on camera) 5. Audio in, standby or audio out (2) 6. Remote pause 7. Audio out 8. Ground for pin 7 9. ground for pin 10 10. +12 volts DC I expect you will use only pins 1,2,7,8,9 and 10 Post your results. I will try and hook my VC-30 up soon... It looks nice for 1984 vintage. I like the character titler keyboard on the side. Here is a Canon museum website for it: tinyurl DOT com/3c4mh4 Anon Y. Mous Copy & paste the tiny url link to your web browsers URL or address field. Remove the word DOT, and all spaces, and replace with a period and press ENTER on your keyboard to go to the tinyurl link.
