Aint seen one about for years, but try looking for Sony, Sanyo or I think, LG (might have been Goldstar at the time)

Either that, or get a cheap 8MM camcorder or get them transferred by one of them companies.

There was, JVC and Panasonic made them, maybe others, have installed a few but they were big money. Not sure if they are still available though, they do a VCR with a built in DV tape player if you are getting a new camera, think this is expensive too though.

All the best
