Premium Members richard bellon Posted April 17, 2014 Author Premium Members Report Share Posted April 17, 2014 Tx Eric Is this transmitter any good? Is it even worthwhile finding a receiver for it? Or is it a case of tech is so old May as while chuck in the trash? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Members William Demeritt Posted April 17, 2014 Premium Members Report Share Posted April 17, 2014 Probably works with strictly analog signals, and I'm guessing locked into a small range of channels (set by a dial somewhere on the chassis)? You can probably find an old Sony TU-1041U VHF receiver on eBay for fairly cheap (<$50), and a Sharkfin antenna will probably be the most costly piece depending on availability and price. Even after all that, you still have an analog transmitter, susceptible to interference, snow, people clamoring "this looks soft" from video village, etc. Maybe just hang onto it until the need arises, then borrow the additional pieces to make it work? I'm betting it'll be a while before you need it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Members richard bellon Posted April 17, 2014 Author Premium Members Report Share Posted April 17, 2014 Yeah, considering all the film labs in SA have closed down I won't be needing it anytime soon… Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
