/Image Orthiconcameras & RCA TK44

[Brian Summers]

Hi Dirk
 
I was aware of the TK44 you mention but I need some usable pictures for the
main thumbnail listing and data/references, there is so much to do and so
little time............ http://tvcameramuseum.org/rca/rcathumb.htm
 
Also keen to add any others I have missed off from the list, info and
pictures needed and well as some time!
 
I plan in the future to add pages for GE and GPL.
 
I wish Paul and his crew well for the exhibit at NAB, I would love to be
able to attend.
 
Best
 
Brian Summers

The Museum of the broadcast television cameras  has a good list of RCA
Cameras at http://tvcameramuseum.org/rca/rca_list.htm  by my experience they
are a missing one camera type, that is the original TK 44  a three Vidicoin
color camera designed for use in operating rooms, 10 were produced for
medical use. to my knowledge only 3 were sold the rest were given away. I
know it well as I worked with it at the Army Medical Center in 1956-7 and at
the University of Michigan in 1958-62. Later while at RCA I sold the TK-44A
(Plumbicons) after an abortive attempt by RCA Lancaster to provide a
modified 3 " IO to compete with the Philips Plumbicon Camera.

Paul, Where will you be located.  I spent 22 years with RCA (61-83) and
never came across a TK34.

DARN!  sorry to miss this...


I did  see Paul Beck and crew last year though and enjoyed seeing the old
gear and actually meeting Paul in person at last.

Is  Paul's  crew also  going  this  year to  demo stuff?
