70s Akai color VTR 1/4 In. Video recorder VT150 VC150 Color Camera Complete Set

  
Vintage 1/4 inch Akai VTS-150 set with VT-150 Reel to Reel color Video Tape Recorder with a VC 150 Color Camera, along with their original carrying cases, power converter/ battery charger and a RF converter for Akai VTRs. Very few were made and imported and were incredibly expensive when first released. This system was the worlds first color portable video recorder when released in the early 70s. It comes with one Akai color 1/4 inch reel with tape, contents of which are unknown, although the previous owner was involved in military contracting and used his audio video equipment as part of his business so it could have interesting video content on the tape. Camera microphone base has worn or rotted away as our pictures show. The leather case the camera came is has somewhat dry leather. The reel to reel heads/ recording heads appear clean. The tape recording box is very clean with almost no noticeable marks and its leather carrying case in good shape. The camera appears in good condition other than the microphone which is damaged.

The lenses look almost new and eyepiece looks good. The batteries have not leaked but I doubt they still would hold a charge.

Nothing has been tested so it is unknown whether this system works. Given the rarity of this system and its historical significance, its a great candidate for restoration.
