[QuadList] The Beatles, Washington D.C. 1964--Ping Harold Deppe, Sr.

[Ted Langdell]

The Marconi Mark VII is a four-tube color camera, and that model  
didn't appear until 1965.

The Mark V—a similar-looking 4.5" monochrome IO camera—also appeared  
in 1965.

The most obvious difference between them that one can easily see is  
the fan vent atop the Mark VII color unit, similar to the "chimney" on  
an RCA TK-60.

Unlike the Marconi Mark IV, neither of these later Marks had a handle  
on the front or top.

Check the Marconi cameras here on QuadList member Brian Summers'  
website:

CBS used Marconi MarkIV's for studio stuff which looked like this:

I wonder whether retired NYC CBS'er Harold Deppe, Sr. has any ideas  
about what truck might have been used for the DC Concert?
