Which parts do you have? Old vidicon tubes? CCD? They have very different requirements.
You can make a single phototransistor work if you are good with assembling high speed spinning mirrors...

Best laugh I've had all day! OMG, you have to have a more meaningful and longer comment.

OK, first off, do you have a lens? Look to see if the glass is OK, not cracked.

Next you need a battery. The battery is going to run a couple of motors, and light up the viewscreen, and maybe power the microphone, if you have that kind of microphone. It also has to power whatever is picking up the light. All these different things require different voltages and amperages, so you'll also need a power supply transformer with different windings on it for the different voltage needs. This will probably be a part of a grand central circuit board, which in turn will be contacted to a sub board for the controls. The GCCB will have wires going to the video source, and out to the tape mechanism, for the image. It will also mess with motors that drive the tape or DVD or hard drive. youknow, there is a reason why Sony makes these things in factories with lots of oversight...........
