the TK-42 had myraids of problems as mentioned previously, in addition they sucked up light like crazy; we had 2 of those at WEDU in Tampa in late 60's-early 70's and had to light the sets at 1000-1100 ft. candles for those things. But they were the stations first local color cameras and were donated by another local channel so they were put to good use anyway. We had a great engineer there who worked and worked and mangaed to get very good video out of them most of the time. Don't know when they got rid of those things. When I left the station in '71 they were still in use. We did an annual auction beginning in 1968 and used remote facilities of BIG13 in Tampa who used GE pc70's on their truck---what a difference!
