[QuadList] RCA Pavilion Oct. 17 1965

[Bill Seery]

Today must be show and tell day. I just put this up on Youtube and thought folks here might enjoy it.
 
It was found in an RCA case labelled as a low band alignment tape. I lent it to Maurice Schecter thinking he could make use of it and he discovered something very different. 

The minute I saw it I knew what it was.  It's a fragment of a Quad videotape shot at the RCA Pavilion on closing day of the 1964-65 NY World's Fair, Oct. 17 1965.  I grew up within walking distance of the fair and spent a lot of time there.

Here's the description of this exhibit from the 1965 Official Guide Book:

"YOURSELF ON TV. Near the entrance to the pavilion, visitors may also walk by a unique "color carousel" and see themselves on color television twice, once "live" as they pass the camera, and moments later on TV tape."

If you recognize anyone, please let me know.  I'll put up more when I have a chance.Thanks again to Maurice for transferring this!
