You can buy modified “bent circuit” PXL-2000’s on Ebay anytime for around $3-$400. The videos online never do it justice, it looks much better on regular quality. It has a ghost like quality. A toy from the 80’s. I remember seeing them in the Sears catalog.

PXL2000

From Wikipedia:

The Fisher-Price PXL2000 (also known as the PixelVision by Fisher-Price, and the KiddieCorder by some of its fans) was a toy black-and-white camcorder produced in 1987 that used an ordinary compact audio cassette as its recording medium. The original designer at Fisher-Price was Andrew I. Bergman (1950-2007)[1].

When the PXL2000 was available in retail outlets, it came in two versions—one with just the camera and necessary accessories (power supply, blank tape, etc.), and another which came packaged with a portable black and white television with a 4.5 in (114.3 mm) diagonal screen, for use as a monitor. There were also extra accessories sold separately, such as a carrying case.

Pretty soon he will be able to process simple tax returns, make a good batch of salsa and play some rockband or guitar hero.
