Ted and all,<br>
<br>
Someone must have been cleaning out their old files as these four
photos appeared on eBay last December. My bid was too low, so I do
not own them.<br>
<br>
Here are direct links to each photo:<br>

alumnus Bobby Ellerbee commented at that time: "Interesting that
the writing on the top says these were in NBC 3K (their test
studio) as most of us had thought these cameras were in testing at
the Colonial Theater facility. These are indeed the prototype TK40
cameras and were referred to as 'the coffin cameras' as they were
big enough to bury someone in. This now confirms that there were 3
cameras as the photo I never saw has a camera number 3 on it and
another says 2. It is possible that camera 1 was kept in the
mobile unit for testing outside the studio. The outside shot is
from a Palisades Park, single camera remote in '51 or '52. The
camera with that umber grey paint got so hot (from use and the
sun) that the NBC crew painted it silver when they got back to the
shop...that's why the production models were silver</span>."<br>
<br>
That's all I know.<br>
<br>
Enjoy!<br>

Bob, what is the source of your photo, if I may ask. Thanks much for
posting it.
