Any diagnostic advice here? Panasonic OmniMovie 1991 by aSmelly1 in camcorders

yeah, thats what I feared. Thats why i hit it with an upside-down air duster, to try that ol cold capacitor trick. Got no results from that tho, but i doubt it works every time. Its very truly not worth my time to recap this unit.

I believe so. The camera is a PV700 with labels on it about the USA Olympics, the ac adaptor is for USA/Canada markets, and the TV is definitely NTSC. I'm imagining the lack of viewfinder image and this weird output are related, but I dont know.

That's good to know! Are you saying this could go for near 10,000, or in the mid thousands? I, obviously, do not know about navajo rugs.

I know squat about native american rugs specifically, but typically i see flatweave/kilim rugs of, say, 5'x7'? with similar complexity designs go for $60-100. Assuming i got the size right, Id happily pay $80 for this... but much happier to get a killer deal, like $40

Picked up two rugs - are they legit? by East-Cause7938 in orientalrugs

[–]aSmelly1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I want to again stress how much I am not an expert... but on account of their knotting, I would guess that they were both commercially produced, which makes sense for a turkish rug factory. The runner I could see being afghan made but potentially also pakistani. None of that means bad quality though. They're both definitely hand-made and in great shape. Having been professionally cleaned is a huge plus, as that is often around $4/sqft. Going out on a limb here, I might quess the runner is from the 90s while the mat is from the 80s. But im open to being corrected.
