Nope, actual video recording. RCA CC510, 1990. Made by Hitachi and rebranded. The manual iris settings are difficult to judge on the viewfinder.

I need to clean the heads on it. Also, part of that is down to operator error.

Made a crappy video. Got a wireless mic on order.

Made a mental note that I cannot ignore the engine bearings much longer.

That now makes 3 cars I need to pull the engine.

So what you're telling me is the 318 block I have that's sitting out in the rain is a perfect race engine?

The ones I got are the wrong type, they don't have the base. But, they work.

If you don't care about that, then search 12v 0.9w t1 mini bulb.

The right bulbs arrived finally. 20240427_183309.jpg Tiny grain of wheat ones with a little blue cover. 20240427_200741.jpg Replaced the burned ones by the gearshift. 20240427_183355.jpg Cruise switch illumination works again. 20240427_203059.jpg Gearshift track also lights up. Getting better. Phil

It has done a Jag and the inside of the engine is rusty.

The bulbs I ordered arrived.
Naturally they were listed wrong and are completely incorrect. Ordered some more, which will hopefully be the correct type.
Someone has been in here before. Yup, all the plastics are broken. Great. More to fix.

It was stripped and has been left half dismantled for over 2 years. I'm not even bothering with it.
