First we will need to investigate the electronic viewfinder daughter board taken from a '90s GE VHS camcorder.

This board was connected to the main board with a 7 pin cable so presumably all the video and control signals and supply voltage are carried through this cable labeled CNE01 but we don't know the pinout or voltages. Since these viewfinders are usually controlled by a dedicated IC the best course of action is to read off the number on the part labeled ICE01 and find a datasheet online. A quick google search finds a dusty pdf for AN2510S Video Camera Electronic Viewfinder Drive Circuit. Looks like a match.

Let's take a look at the ratings and pinout of this IC:

So it looks like our max voltage is 5.3V, typical is 4.8V and the test circuit max draw is 34 mA.  Not bad, should be able to run this off a normal USB power brick. The next step is to take a continuity tester and trace the leads on the chip to the pins on socket CNE01. This lets us match the datasheet pin functions to those directly connected to the cable but we're still missing some, most importantly (18) video input.

Maybe the example circuit diagram can help:

Ok the example has a .22μF capacitor on pin 18. Let's set our multimeter to capacitance mode and see what we can find. Between pin 18 on the IC and pin 4 of the cable socket reads .20μF. Close enough, that must be our video in.

Here's what we got so far:

Pins 3 & 7 are a mystery for now. Most likely control signals of some sort.
