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.

>> 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. :)
