PYE MK 3 RESTORATION

Since the internal electronics were mostly missing or damaged it was out of the question this camera would ever work again. I decided to make it a "functioning prop", that is give it the appearance of an original working camera but using some modern components inside.
For this i used a 70's Sony "vidicon" camera mounted behind the turret, and the insides of a modern B&W mini CRT television for the viewfinder.

and that concludes a brief look at the (cosmetic) restoration process. I think you'll agree it now looks the part and its now ready to be displayed.
