last year i acquired 3 GE-PE 250 camera heads for dirt cheap. all i have is the camera heads and camera control panel, with the cable that plugs into the control panel. they came with NO lenses, camera cable or pedestal/tripod. i have looked on the inside of all them, and two of them are COMPLETELY trashed on the inside, and all of the four tubes are missing on two of them. there are also remnants of a critter living inside of them (old pistachios, small pieces of newspaper) BUT, one out of the three is in much better condition and has ALL OF THE TUBES!! i would love to be able to get it working, but there is still a lot of equipment that is missing (a lens, cable, power supply, etc.) i have contacted a few people in the past trying to find resources, but it didn't work. i would only intend to get this one camera working, as the other two are missing all of the tubes, and a lot of other electronics. i was wondering if anyone would know where i could purchase any of the missing equipment?
below are photos of the camera I intend to restore (with all the tubes) and photos of the CCU.

Hi there
I suspect you are in the USA? always best to give location, There are a good few GE PE 250s around in the US and I am sure you will find the bits you need.
You might try a post on http://www.videokarma.org/forumdisplay.php?f=174 as well as here. Alas your pictures did not make it to the BATC forum, I would be interested to see them. I run the www.tvcameramuseum.org site and have yet to write the GE pages, so some pictures would be of interest.
Seasons greetings and good luck with your project.
Brian.
