	I hooked one up recently from an old RCA camcorder (not 80's
vintage though I don't think).

	If you're fortunate, the wires will have GND, +5V, and NTSC Video
in, with one additional wire (or two) for the 'recording' LED.

	If they have more than 4 or 5 wires then I'd not bother trying
(personally).
