The donor said this camera was the unit used to broadcast slow-motion images during the 1984 World Series. The lens is the original, not the one used in the World Series - the donor said the World Series lens was provided by NBC and their personnel retained it after the telecast. Operator's manual included in donation. Found in case: 2 loose medallions, 2 handles, 2 owner’s manuals, clear plastic sheet with lens-sized hole (someone cut out a protective cover?), and a recharging pack. Medallions on either side read: “RCA” and “CCD”; label on lens: “Fujinon S14x7B 1:1.4/7-98mm ERM-1 Fuji Photo Optical Co., Ltd.” Tag on unit handwritten: “RCA CCD-a Serial # SM-2”. Molded on case: “RCA”, stenciled: “This is not a shipping crate.” Label on power pack: “Anton Bauer 4NC7G snap-on Ni-Cad battery 14.4v 4AH use with RCA equipment. Anton / Bauer Inc. Shelton, Conn.
