  power cable supplier for discontinued DV camera

  Posted by Bob Cole on November 29, 2010 at 9:51 pm

  I would like to use an old Panasonic PV-DV203D to feed a monitor with a live shot. The only output on the camera for live analog video is right where the battery slides in, so I need to use the power cable that runs from the AC adapter to the camera — which didn’t come with the camera when I bought it (used) many years ago.

  I’ve been searching the Internet for a replacement cable but I haven’t been able to find one. There are a lot of kits that include cables from the AC outlet to the battery charger, but not from the charger (adapter) to the camera. (I have unsuccessfully tried a multi-tap AC kit from Radio Shack.)

  Is there a supplier that I don’t know about? I’ve searched high and low.

  Thanks.

  I’d take it to an electronics store and try some out- they don’t change these things much over the years. If you match the voltage and the adapter plug you’ll be fine.

  You were correct. At first the clerk told me she couldn’t help me so I told her Noah said she could, and she did.
