RCA VHS-C screen for sculpture


posted by Vashember on Jun 06, 2008


I wonder if you could advise me on how I can find 7' feet of ribbon cable so that I can move the screen away from the body of a RCA VHS-C cc6364 camcorder. I am building a interactive sculpture and would like to move the screen about 7’ feet away from the camera. I took the unit apart and the ribbon cable connects the unit to the 2 ½’ screen.

Is it possible to purchase lengths of such cables and connectors or
make a flexible cable with the printed circuit?

Or, just finding another unit and take the male and female connectors and somehow adding fine copper wires to make a long enough cable. Of course I am worried that the extra wire lengths will create too much resistance to transmit to the screen 6’ away. Also, soldering the copper wire into such fine mini connectors seems pretty difficult.

Looking for any ideas, thanks Vashember

Thanks for the quick reply. Would you know where the old manuals may be.
I have the same problem.

The resistance of hte wire is not the major problem. While it will degrade the signal somewhat, the main problem will be outside interference. You would be better off trying to hide the camera closer to where the screen must reside and usinga ribbon cable only a few inches longer. You will need to find a service manual for that model to get the pinout of the cable.

Good luck.

Check with a local service shop that is/was an RCA service center. It may be online somewhere too, but I'm not sure.
