Back in the 1990's I purchased new surplus CRT based viewfinder module designed for a camcorder from a surplus electronics vendor. Was rather inexpensive. It has a tiny 1" B&W CRT and takes composite NTSC video. The only issue with it was the image was mirrored due to it being designed to be viewed indirectly via a mirror that would cause the image to display correctly. It was a simple matter to swap two wires to make it work correctly for direct view. IIRC, it would run on a common 9V battery. This post now has me wondering where I put it. I know I never sold it or threw it out. Big problem these days is where to get an NTSC video source. The only things I currently have left are an old 8mm camcorder and a digital to NTSC converter box that were common when the US went all digital.
