Lee,<div><br></div><div>Unless I am having total brain fade, the still picture (high angle) of the truck is the same as the "behind the scenes" video. It was shot the same day, video and 35mm photos. KCOP during my tenure only did the Rose Parade once (yes they did do it before my time with their GE truck and TS-40 switcher but I heard that went terribly bad). So is this TAV 3 or TAV 5? May I presume that one of the older color Conrac round tube monitors was the catalyst for the fire?</div><div><br></div><div>David Crosthwait</div><div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: separate;
