The Nixon Answer - Michigan - 1968

[Neill, Patrick]

I thought members might be interested in this web site "the TV Camera Museum" which gives information on Visual VP-3 cameras (and indeed other cameras).

The cameras are GE PE-250.  That means it was taped at Channel 4 which  was WWJ at the time and now WDIV or Channel 2 which  is WJBK.  Or  possibly using The remote truck from WJBK.  If done at the Canadian station  CKLW, now CBET channel 9 they also had GE cameras.  I do not recognize  the name Bud Wilkenson as a personality form one of  these stations.

The other stations had TK 42 and 43 cameras.  The PBS station got  Visual
VP-3 cameras later.

I was reading some of the  press about Roger Ailes?s passing and followed a link to this?

The copy transcribed here is Helical (lots of dropouts), but the master  is
obviously Quad. Quite a few tell-tale signs.


One thing I thought was interesting was how the cameras looked. Kind of a
pastel color like a TK-41. I think I see the silhouette of a TK-42 camera in
 the shadows. Don?t know if I?ve really looked at TK-42 footage this
closely.


Detail from a image orthicon would explain why this is sharp with a soft
color overlay I suppose. Doesn?t look like a Plumbicon camera anyway.


I have a friend here in Southwest Florida who was probably in his late
teens / early twenties, in Detroit when this was taped. Who knows, he may have
been running one of the cameras. :)

Thank you Chris. I saw that lens sticking out from the camera body and thought, RCA. So, the PE-250 was a 4 tube camera design right?



What quads did WWJ have?
