But did you ever see a TK26 film camera. It was different than a TK27. Missed out on the TK28 but we had a TK29. At about that time telecine was becoming a big thing in our market.
The TR22 was the first solid state tape machine.
Much of that obsolete equipment was donated to the local colleges and universities. BUT, that later fell out of favor when they wanted our station to install and maintain them. Consequently I saw a Chyron 4100 go into the dumpster. Really broke my heart since I had been to the school on it.
The problem with the early solid state equipment was the pinboard construction. The grounds (square pads) would loosen up and cause problems. And then there was all those carbon resistors. Metal film resistors had not come along yet.
