    Not sure if this is the right forum for this question, but I have an old Ikegami HL-55 video camera that I want to test. This camera has a 5-pin power supply, does anyone know the pin assignment?

    I need to know which of the pins are the 12v and Ground. Just want to see if this still powers on.

    The pins look like this:

    Let’s call it

    1 2 3
     4 5

    Thanks!

    We once had to improvise a Radio Shack power supply to power an HL-55 but could not tell you the pin assignments.

    Amazingly, Ikegami still has some documentation online, even though this camera pre-dates the internet!

    Thanks, I had seen page that in my search for information but still no info on the pin assignment. I have a Sony power supply but it’s 4 pins. Also have some NP-23 batteries.
    I tried a few combinations but so far no luck.
