And here is a Harris 590 during the 1980 NAB, showcasing products by just-acquired Consolidated Video Systems, which became Harris Video Systems:



The original photo and more coverage of the 1980 NAB are in the Harris "Intercom" newsletter, here:

Check out the photo of the Las Vegas Convention Center on the front page.  Where did the saucer section go?

Harris trivia question:  What hypenated name was Harris also known by, about the time it picked up Gates?
