VINTAGE FOR.A FVW-300 Video Writing Editor with pen WORKING, draw on TV Rare!

Description: VINTAGE FOR.A FVW-300 Professional Video Writing Editor Seems to be super rare! Could not find any like it! Basing price on one we had seen sold on ebay that did not even look to be as good a model. This was thousands$$$ new back in the day. Ever wonder how the professional film crew draws lines, etc. on a football game on TV, well here is your answer (at least back in the 80s or so!)Connect video in and you can draw, superimpose etc by using the included "light pen" and draw right on a CRT screen. We scribbled on a battery ad and drew a TV within a TV and then superimposed on a video game ad! (see our picts!) Has a monitor (preview ) output and regular output where you can have the drawn lines show or not by pushing the "super" button (superimpose) Has buttons for Thin or thick lines or push straight line button to have it draw a line from last position to next pen poke. We do not have a manual, and basically had to figure it out on our own so it may have more features that we missed. We are not sure what the "Character out" or "buss out" on back are for, but guessing you can add plug in options/ accessories to add alpha numeric characters? Guessing that is what the "option" switch on front is for. We could not figure out what the "erase" button does or if it works. (The "clear" button works to erase all lines when pushed) We are not sure what the DS1 and DS2 micro switches on back are for so we did not mess with them.CPU reset does just that, and resets the unit. Someone was kind enough to replace the cooling fan in 2007 and stick the standard fan part # sticker on bottom. Inside was fairly clean other than a couple painted over rust spots where someone had spilled something by the terminal strips probably in storage through the vent grates in top cover. (did not appear to have been on any PC boards or components or affect anything) Tested working, has signs of use.Push Buttons were a bit touchy at first as it has been in storage for at least 10 - 15 years, we sprayed all with Caig D5 contact cleaner and they began to work OK again! Probably should be used once in a while to keep limber and self clean the silver contacts. Case had some rust spots and paint chips mostly on front left corner, that were touched up as well as a fresh coat to the top cover (may not be a perfect match but close). Selling as is due to age but will guarantee it powers up and passes video on arrival.
