This camera was used at KWCH 12 Eyewitness News, a CBS affiliate, in Wicthata Kansas.  See camera and the stations history HERE.  

And...  when it was new looked like this!  
We need the lens, connector and control box!

Note this is not our  camera though seems  the electronics are all in a  missing box. How many cameras were in the '2000 series'  I wonder?

Kin Tel Division of Cohu Electronics
Inc. showed its 2000 series self -
contained miniaturized portable TV
camera which is solid- state, and contains
plug -in units. It sells for $3,000
without lens. The camera control (No.
2,000 -100) furnishes power and control
signals and is directly coupled to the
camera itself creating a single -unit, self -
contained camera. Both the camera and
the control unit are 3 inches in diameter.
Also shown by Kin Tel was the
3100 series high resolution self -contained
camera, containing modular circuitry
for all camera and control functions.
Optional video bandwidths (10
mc to 20 mc) and a selection of scanning

permit a choice of resolution combinations
for any use. 5

Brief EARLY history and links  for Cohu.

 

Cohu is a leading supplier of test handling, burn-in and thermal solutions used by the global semiconductor industry, microwave communications and closed-circuit television equipment.

 Cohu, Inc. is the result of an evolution from a tiny laboratory partnership created in 1945. This partnership was incorporated as Kalbfell Laboratories, Inc., in 1947. In September 1954 the corporate name was changed to Kay Lab.

In June of 1956 the company issued 400,000 additional shares in its first public financing. In 1957 Kay Lab was liquidated and all of the assets and liabilities of Kay Lab were acquired by Cohu Electronics, Inc., a Delaware corporation. In 1972, the name Cohu Electronics, Inc. was changed to Cohu, Inc.
