What was mounted on the top of the telecruiser in the "as found' photo ?
No credit for that here! That would be "Chuck"s project on "Radiodiscussions.com, Texas TV" discussion board, DuMont Telecruiser thread.

I would guess that's air conditioning equipment on top. Still waiting for a reply about the cameras. It's a pretty slow forum.

more info..

"...the add on AC unit was incredibly ugly and made the bus top and front heavy, I can understand why it was there. With all the tube type equipment, it must have been like the "Little Debbie Bake Oven" inside.

Amazingly, that air conditioner actually worked after sitting around unused since 1972. It was quite a challenge getting it off. Whoever installed it wanted to make sure it wouldn't come loose while traveling down the highway. "

Tk-31

Aussie...great memory. That is my TK-31 that I have had for about 12 years in it's new sheeps clothing. CCD cam, LCD viewfinder, Radio Shack DA for signals and genlock input to the cam if needed. It is in my shop at the moment getting a little retrofitting. It was on display at the Sarnoff Library for a few years until I had to get it out as they had to leave the property. The local PBS borrowed it as a set piece for a fund-raiser and now it is back with me.

Enough about me. The Telecruiser has to be the most amazing restoration I have ever seen. As soon as I find a DuMont meatball metal logo I have, it will be donated to the effort if needed.

Kinda sad that there is so little left of some vintage cameras, and so few parts that they can only be frankensteined/fishtanked back to life......
