HISTORY OF THIS BATTERY CHARGER
My professional and private background is all about electronics, audio and 'The Arts' but NOT really photography or consumer video!
Over the years, I have gathered together a bunch of ancient/retro camera's and accessories (some are very odd looking), not for any particular reason but these bits and pieces seemed to want to live with me! They have been sitting in boxes for years, so I am now testing them (where possible) and finding new homes for them ... time for the "kids" to leave home!
I am big on sustainability and I am hoping very much that someone else may find a use for the accessory described below.
I am not an expert on this equipment but I do like to describe anything I offer as best I can, PLEASE read the description below to read about my comments on this item, whether it works (if I can test it) and my overall impression of the item.
In all cases, this item is offered as a second hand item in 'as-is' condition
For those wondering, my old film based camera's (Box Brownies, Bellows types and more) have all found new homes.
PLEASE read the description below completely and decide if this SONY AC Power Adaptor may be of interest to you.

COSMETIC CONDITION:
USED
CLEAN
NO body damage at all (no cracks or pieces missing!)
Both battery charging spring contacts are clean and undamaged
TESTING:
I have no battery with which to test this unit charging abilities and when the battery contact points are measured, I can see 0.55 volts present which varies (as though it is being switched) this is not AC though. Like other battery chargers I must assume the battery charging comes "alive" when it "sees" a battery has been inserted.
I was able to make a measurement at the side mounted DC output socket and measured 8.3V
I am confident that this SONY AC Video Camera battery charger & power supply is fully functioning
Now the I have finished testing and describing this accessory, it is now sealed in a clear plastic packet, along with the AC lead and old battery.
