Good Day:

Check out the following link:
http://www.supercircuits.com/STORE/prodinfo.asp?number=MON1&variation=&aitem=4&mitem=12

Years ago (many) I found some B&W surplus viewfinders. As I recall, they used 5 volts and output NTSC. Supercircuits now sells them ready to go and I think they are color.

Good luck,

Andy

Not knowing if I'll be able to find a scrapped one, I may just buy one
through my local repair shop. The thing is, they can order hundreds of
different ones, and I've no idea which would be my best bet.

Does anyone here have experience with viewfinders from specific cameras? I
know that some can handle a straight NTSC signal, which would be ideal.
Also, has anyone managed to get the newer LCD based viewfinders (Either from
video or digital still cameras, some of which now have LCD viewfinders)
working as HMDs, or are the signals they require too wacky?

Recommendations for viewfinders from specific camera models, would be very
helpful, as well as warnings against difficult ones!
