Vintage WCAU-TV and CBS Broadcast Center photos from mid-late 1960s

[Ted Langdell]

Happy NEW Year!
Was looking through some old posts attempts to the QuadList and found a link to pictures I hadn't seen before.
These are of formerly CBS-owned WCAU-TV (10) Philadelphia, and the CBS Broadcast Center in NY from the late 1960s or early 1970s
There a shot of one of the Program Control room consoles with a NY Daily News paper on it. Headline: "All GIs Out of Cambodia." That might make it possible to put a date on when the slides were shot.

A CBS NY Master Control engineer had posted the link to a broadcast engineer's HAM group. I don't recall that that the post made it to the list, because it got caught as a link by a non-subscriber.

There are shots of Ampex Quads at what looks like an otherwise RCA-equipped WCAU, and of both Ampex and RCA Quad recorders at the CBS Broadcast Center.

Some shots that will make certain former CBS NY engineers recall "the good old days" of Norelco PC-70 cameras, GE PE240 film pickup, Simplex 35mm, GE 16mm motion picture and Marconi 35mm slide projectors and long rows of racks that distributed the Tiffany Network to the continental United States and the World.
You've seen some similar shots in the Broadcast Center taken by and provided by former CBS engineer Harold Deppe, Sr. posted to the QuadList on May 13, 2012. 

I think that Gordon Laubach worked at WCAU. Here are his slides.  Enjoy!  and comment here and/or on the Quad Videotape Group Facebook page.
