Philips PC80 camera head.

This camera head is an update on the PC 60 which was Philips' first colour camera. Where the PC 60 required two separate camera cables to transmit footage, the PC 80 used a single larger cable, known as a G101 cable after its 101 wires that it housed. Other improvements were made to the circuits within the camera from the PC 60.
