and this was recorded on VX1 !! Awesome!!! 💯 It's always nice to see these older handycams get a new lease on life if fixed idk what's up with these ppl who purchase the camera and never use them
yes exactly this video has been recorded with the VX-1 in digital format! the FX-300 camera was a case of a German who bought it and never took it out of the box and never used it.. of course it doesn't work, but luckily it doesn't leak electrolyte on the boards so I will be able to repair it in the future from the beginning with ease , I will have to change 90 capacitors or so , I will choose Panasonic electrolytic SMD caps , Tantalum does not work for these cameras I was told they will cause a short circuit , these cameras are made for electrolytic only !
@@salvatorev_ I haven’t even tried tantalum out myself, I’m still unable to find people who will help me out with soldering which I been screwing up the last time I tried it. If I fix a device that’s bigger, I think I’ll use the Panasonic SMD Caps too bc they seem easier to attach. Maybe I’ll try tantalum another time but for the time being, I can only get away with minor repairs, for instance on my American VX3, I was able to replace the lens however I damaged a ribbon cable in the process causing the focusing to be narrow. Haven’t found the time yet for recapping but I wanna start soon. Looking forward to seeing the FX300 revived :) ….and because your FX700 has tantalum, do you think that’s what was causing some glitching in your video on certain parts? Or was it the tape itself
@@CycloneCordVHS Yes tantalum causes short circuit and problems in some integrated which is the processing of the video but also in the color, and problems in the sound like flickering, also the camera will record correctly only in Video8 format in Hi8 format it will record a blurry image, this error it was caused by the tantalum in the camera as you saw in the video I uploaded there are errors in the video , I changed the capacitors again with electrolyte but the problem remains and it has become permanent , now I use the FX700 camera as a retro effect which gives problems in the video, and not for to shoot something in high quality! When I fix the FX300e Video8 I will upload a sample! I also have a professional V6000 Pro Hi8 camera (1992) to repair which is very difficult to repair because apart from having a lot of capacitors there is a mess of cables when you take it apart and it is very difficult and a headache to put it back together again!
@@salvatorev_ I can only imagine (about the V6000), It's reasons like that that are why I'm not ready to even take it apart yet. My V5000 is still sitting on my coffee table to this day. Are you gonna make a video of your V6000 (the repair process and afterwards results)? If that would be too much, I understand. Another thing, the tantalum didn't make your VX1 problematic again did it? I know before it kind of a leaky cap which is fixed now of course.
@@CycloneCordVHS When I repair the V6000 with electrolytic capacitors I will upload it and the result, on the VX1 camcorder the tantalum caused problems with video and audio judder and I managed and removed them all before it was too late for the camera, and put in Panasonic electrolytic capacitors, now the camera works fine the only thing that needs to be changed in the capacitors is on the back of the camera where the battery goes in the power supply there are small electrolytic throghole capacitors that I can hardly find, when I find them and change them the camera will be fully functional
the camera was activated for the first time, and as soon as I saw that it wasn't working properly I turned it off immediately, when I opened the camera I saw that the capacitors were clean without leaks, and I left it like that, when I can and find time I will change them, the repair is very time-consuming and difficult and I will have to change 90 capacitors, also capacitors can leak even when the camera is not powered!!
@@salvatorev_ i know how you feel, I tried recapping a ccd-f350e which had about 80 caps in it and it didn't even work properly afterwards. I now have a hatred for capacitors!! XD

hey, can u digitalize the manual?
I can't find in the internet

ผมมีอยู่1 ชุดครับ ทุกอย่างครบถ้วน แต่ใช้งานไม่ได้
If I were you I would've cracked it open right away and replaced all the capacitors because I heard they leak more if you turn it on
