[QuadList] The Ed Shape KF7WDD ATV gathering project for the communication museum!

[COURYHOUSE at aol.com]

ok had a couple inquiries form  my other post asking   what I was up to so 
here are some more details
 
A moth ago I got my General class  Amateur Radio License as a  few of you 
know.
 
As A kid could have passed the theory portion in 6th  grade  but was 
totally  Morse code dyslectic... so  I spent my  time  helping other people build 
and fix things...  Time passed and    eons later  well   the  code  
requirement went away  so... I finally got my license. Next month I may take a stab 
at the Extra test  as well.
 
We have always had a display of Amateur  Radio equipment here  at the 
museum ... 1kw  spark transmitter,  Collins KWS1   and  lots of  other  Ham and 
SWL gear and the library is pretty  full too!
 
There was one big gap,  with is the ATV display  we are  now building.  
Some of it was already  on  the shelf like CONAR  Cameras and  some of the 
older  CCTV stuff Hams   adapted..
 
Even some nice photo of converted surplus gear such as this one we  bought 
the negatives of.

Please can you tell us more about this fellow and  his camera? 
Note the 'creative' use of military surplus parts and  cabinetry to build 
this camera..  Kudos to this pioneer! 
WAS MENTIONED THAT THEY WERE TAKEN IN THE WENTSWORTH STORE IN  THE 
WESTCHESTER DISTRICT OF LOS ANGELES 
 (http://www.smecc.org/video/wpe3gm5i8fm5f.gif)  

so... there you have it!  
Looking to  amass a groups of  equipment  that   does a good timeline.... 
looking to add more to the   museum's library... 
BUT!  Also  would be  fin to put  some  of it on the air!  

The  idea has been suggested to me about a museum  active  amateur  
station.... this  might be   fun! 
Any.. read on... drop me a note off list.
