[QuadList] NHK Museum of Broadcasting

Park,
I think the distinction with RCA model numbers is older gear vs newer -- Pre mid 1950s vs post mid 1950s. Earlier gear such as the iconic 76 consolette, or the 50D or 5D transmitters, the 86 limiter, had numbers with postscript letters. For example my RCA consolette is a 76B5. So most of the famous RCA microphones fall into this group, the 44A, B, BX, the 77A, B, C, D, DX, the 72 series, etc. after the mid fifties, they went to a system with letters followed by a number, BC for consoles, BTA for AM transmitters, BTF for FM transmitters, TT for TV transmitters, SK for microphones, BA for broadcast audio devices such as limiters, monitor amps, etc. It's confusing because they didn't change the model number on existing products, but continued to list them with their original numbers side by side with the new lines using the new number scheme.

I just realized that the model numbers of RCA mics started with the numbers, like in 77DX and 44BX while cameras started with the letters like TK-41.






Best,

Fun to see the RCA DX-77 mics & prominent RCA TK-41 in the cameras lined up at the end of the clip (so large, how could you miss it?).

Thanks!  -mike

Check out this video on YouTube:

It does not have quads in it but some interesting cameras mainly in the background.
