Any idea what this camcorder cable is?

I unearthed the family camcorder from my childhood (it smells exactly how I remembered) and would like to experiment with filming on it.

I bought an RCA & S Video to USB connector because I thought this was S Video, but it’s not! It seems like it could be proprietary? Is there somewhere I can source a capture card or a converter for this?

I could just record to vhs tapes and digitize them. But that will really slow the process and I’d much rather go straight to digital if at all possible.

It’s a JVC GR-C7U if that helps.

Four magic eraser sheets disintegrated for one drawer face. I have three other pieces. Is there a less wasteful way to unyellow these?

Dish soap gets the grime off but the magic eraser seems to be the only way to remove the yellowing. And the top drawer could still use a whole other sheet. I don’t mind the elbow grease, but surely there’s a better way.

They sat in my parents garage for years and years and I dunno if they were ever cleaned before that.
