Maybe. Hope I'm not looking too old :)

Back in '68, they had what I want to recall as a TK-11 set up in what  
was off of/near/in a hallway like area that allowed visitors to see  
themselves on an adjacent monitor.  The hallway allowed people to look  
into several studios from above the lighting grid.  One of the studios  
was Jeopardy, and the other had a soap opera. The tour also included  
the Tonight Show studio. Which appeared smaller than it did on TV, and  
the steps in the audience area seemed to have a rather tall rise.    
Interesting to see it then, and then again in February.

Had a little fun with a tour group when Dennis was showing me around.   
We were in an elevator lobby on the ___?  floor and I mentioned that  
the glassed in area right behind us was the NBC Monitor (radio)  
control area.  The pages didn't know that.
