Marconi MkVIII Television Camera cable side open

Although this camera is a "B" it does not have the optional geometry corrector PCB that fits in place of the extender card to the immediate left of the camera PSU.

The front PCB is reserved for the lens use. The Varotal 30 PCB just has some fuses on it. Other lenses have servo amplifiers in this position.

In the bottom right corner of the camera is a small "power on-off" switch that enables work to be done without having to go back to the CCU. A very useful feature.
