Back in the early 80’s, Kodak put out an 8mm camcorder. The first models were one-piece deals done up in silver. Later, they changed them to modular setups. I’m trying to find one of these, but have no idea of the model number. Googling doesn’t help since I end up with newer (90’s) models. Anyone remember these? ---
