[QuadList] RCA telecine camera tube options/TK-290 query (was TK42 / 43 at NBC)

[Ted Langdell]

Introduced in 1980, the TK-29C could be had with Saticons or Plumbs.   
Mine has Sats.  The TK-28 first came out in 1972 and could be had  
with 3 vidicons or three plumbs.

Has anyone on the list ever run across or worked with a TK-290?  1982  
introduction. Used TK-47 guts and could be controlled by the TK-47  
setup computer.
