arg. I got a video camera at the electronics fair, and I'm gonna need to pay more than the camera costs to get the fucking manual.

that should be illegal

I got it working. Screw the service manual!
This is a JVC GX-J700U color video camera, from approximately 1984.
It's got "excellent picture quality", 360 lines resolution!
It's got genlock, color bars, and built in character generator.
(It's also got a mic and viewfinder, but I pulled them off for this picture)
I don't know why it's outputting B&W. this is supposedly a color camera.
@foone there is a colour option on the top left of the switches? 🙃
@etherknot that's for the fade: you can fade out to solid colors
@foone but did you try it?
@etherknot of course
