Great looking piece! I love the peacock. Forgotten how many versions there have been over the years. We didn't have a color set at home until much later.<BR>

I thought I saw a spec of white dirt towards the end. Probably a 35mm film optical negative transfer. <BR>
Great transfer, very little weave when you have sprockets and claws to guide the film. I assume most stations had film chains in 1959 for showing movies?<BR>

I ran a RCA TK28 and FR35/16 film chain when I first started coloring at a film lab in Chicago and we mastered to RCA Quads in the late 1970's. <BR>

While at NBC Burbank, they had "the bird" on 35 MM positive print. Telecine on the third floor had TK 26's I believe back in the early color days, moving on to TK 27's (not sure if they ever had them). When I started there in 1979, they had 28's and maybe a 29. I have one animated peacock on 35 mm stock, slightly faded. Others I transferred on 2" (HBC) have, at times, looked terrific. <BR>
<BR>
Regarding film chains of the past: At KLTV, we had one lone TK 27. At KERA, one PE 240 and one PE 245. At KCOP, a TK 26, TK 27, TK 28, and a Cohu. Guess which of the last four looked the best?<BR>
