[QuadList] The Nixon Answer - Michigan - 1968

[Chill315 at aol.com]

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. :)
