Yes, I still have PD1 (in 2012). I got the CCD fixed by H. Lehmann after noting that Peter Jackson (King Kong) had one, but never got around to using it after that. I have only ever recorded to *one* tape using this camera, so the usage is very low indeed given that I've had it from new. It is effectively 'new' as far as mechanical wear is concerned.

I would consider selling the camera, and in fact I tried to sell it a couple of years ago, but got messed around by an ebayer. Frankly though, you would almost certainly have to come and collect it from the south coast of the UK, because I will not accept Paypal so I can't see any other way for you to get it, unless you have relatives here?

If you're interested in talking further, please try and PM me via this website rather than 'replying', and let me know your e-mail address. Obviously, it would best to continue this discussion privately if possible.

Regards,

JD
