Here we have a Sony Handycam CCD-TR48E PAL 8mm Video 8 Tested & Working Camcorder which is perfect for playing back your collection of old tapes, editing them on a computer and even for making retro vintage look movies of your own. Please check the listing and photos carefully to see what is and is not included - notably this does NOT include a battery.

This camcorder is in good cosmetic condition but with some scuffs and some plastic breakage on the lens housing - see phots. These are only cosmetic issues. T+here are no marks on the lens, viewfinder or the pull out screen. Also, it is in excellent mechanical, electrical and electronic condition. All of the controls and switches operate correctly and there is no damage to any of the parts.

We have recorded a test film in which we have checked the zoom moves smoothly at all speeds, the autofocus works and locks quickly as it should and that different lighting situations are responded to correctly. We have checked the film on playback to make sure there are no artifacts and that the heads are clean. This is a fully working camcorder.

This package includes:

  • The camcorder.
  • A quality replacement charger and mains adapter.
  • An Analogue A/V lead to playback through the component RCA input on your TV.
  • This does NOT include a battery. All original batteries are well past their expected life and would need replacing and a battery is not needed for playback. If you intend to use this for filming, replacement batteries are easily available and not expensive.
We strongly recommend that you find a manual for this camcorder. They can be easily found for almost all models with an internet search. Make sure that the model suits your needs. Is it for the correct media type? Is it the correct TV standard (PAL - Europe etc./NSTC - USA etc.). If you intend to do editing on your computer, please read up about this - it is not easy and may need extra leads, equipment or software.
