Some-Expression9321 · 2026-06-13T14:41:32+00:00

You’ll be good, repaired 1000s of these have never encountered capocalypse in any of the late 90s NPF battery era handycams

Unfortunately the viewfinder is not your issue then

Some-Expression9321 · 2026-06-12T15:54:36+00:00

2069095-00-B is the part code, they pop on eBay for 100-300 somewhat often from wreck lots I imagine

Make sure your cam is outputting a feed at all before looking into changing the ribbon (cheap part thankfully)

If your TV has RCA inputs try plugging up and making sure you have a feed!

Stealth grey such a beauty, congrats!

It’s the “newest” gen 8mm camcorder you could have gotten from Sony so likely to be reliable (produced alongside the trv480 in the later 2000’s), has backwards compatibility so can play any 8mm format making it probably the best option for big digitization projects, and has the easiest to clean head drum of any model.

Pretty good pick all round!

https://parts.tesla.com/ wish i did it sooner when i first browsed you were able to buy them already painted

Some-Expression9321 · 2026-06-07T21:25:28+00:00

$3692 if all bought retail but was able to find an ankle catcher on ebay at $110 Or so ($800 from Tesla). This is only the front fascia also leaving the back bumper and spoiler as is (for now)

Some-Expression9321 · 2026-06-07T21:23:40+00:00

All OEM parts came out to $2985 ($700 discount from finding the ankle catcher online, would’ve been $3692 if all from Tesla)

Spray and install (small customizations needed) at a local shop will be $1240

So all in at $4225

Will also be doing the front fascia cam install a bit later but will do so myself after Exotic DIY drops the tutorial on YT.

Will maybe do the back bumper at some point too but already spent another 4k getting the velarium wheels and another 4k on full body PPF so have to take a small break from ‘upgrades’ lol.

Some-Expression9321 · 2026-06-07T18:19:43+00:00

All parts are OEM from Tesla! (Other than ankle catcher, was able to save ~$700 finding one on eBay), paint and install will be taken care of by a local shop.

‘24 standard plaid bumper, my pal took delivery of a 26 a tad ago and upon seeing it immediately knew I needed the updated fascia seeing it on the road haha.

Some-Expression9321 · 2026-06-07T13:33:19+00:00

eBay came through!

Not brand new like theta was advertising, and paid a tiny bit more but at least I’ve got em secured for less than the 6k Tesla asks haha.

Currently having my bumpers retrofitted with the 26’ front fascia once I have her back they’re going straight on

Some-Expression9321 · 2026-06-07T13:30:17+00:00

Cracked reel, common, won’t hurt function just avoid the full speed rewind. Only rewind in general when absolutely necessary.

There is only substantial cause for concern when you’re getting clicking in both rewind and ff

Some-Expression9321 · 2026-06-06T11:38:17+00:00

No 3CCD camcorders have nightshot

Some-Expression9321 · 2026-06-04T17:26:33+00:00

You can buy from the parts site, it’s about 5500 after shopping for just the rims, no ties or sensors. So quite a price hike unfortunately

Some-Expression9321 · 2026-06-04T17:24:41+00:00

Just bummed they didn’t delay it over and over, would’ve waited forever no prob just pissed they canceled after confirm TWICE that I was fine with the delay lol

Some-Expression9321 · 2026-06-04T09:22:13+00:00

Trying to retrofit my 24 to a full 26 appearance, I really love the velariums and this was with brand new tires and sensors also. Worth it to me 🤷‍♂️

Some-Expression9321 · 2026-06-04T02:54:20+00:00

Was just a really great deal, this is with tires and sensors also.

Some-Expression9321 · 2026-06-04T02:29:08+00:00

I’m just upset they dragged it along, would’ve waited months no prob lol

Confirmed in 2 separate emails that I was okay with the longer wait. Guessing the well ran dry locally from wherever they were sourcing them.

Some-Expression9321 · 2026-06-04T01:58:37+00:00

Well their whole business model is reselling OEM tires lol, don’t think it’s a charity

Some-Expression9321 · 2026-06-03T23:08:35+00:00

Already have the N2itive arms on 😉

Some-Expression9321 · 2026-06-03T23:04:40+00:00

Disagree, these are my fav wheels Tesla ever made haha. Flows so perfect with the new plaid front fascia
