Not sure if it counts, but I get to buy the bits to make a battery belt 
for my JVC KY-15/BR-S411E camera and dockable recorder.  Hey, it's a 
classic broadcast camera!

Incidentally if anyone's got the workshop manual for the BR-S411E S-VHS 
recorder, or the BR-S411U NTSC version, give me a shout.

Ah.  Well, today I get to jack up the CX and see if it really does have 
a cracked lower hub mounting.  There's a horrible scraping noise from 
down around the front wheel that started very suddenly.  Seems even 
lovely soft oleopneumatic suspension can't save it from Glasgow's 
potholes...
