Lone Star Beer TK-40

Just for fun. Found this photo today on the computer while cleaning files. No idea where I got it from. Can you be DUI behind a TK-40 with a snootfull of Lone Star? Let the ebay searching begin! And if you do not want it, let me know if you find one...or have one.

I've encountered a few cameramen who were DUI while on the job.

Louvers in Early RCA Color Cameras

Wayne,

The four RCA cameras in the first NBC production studio, at the Colonial Theater in NYC, were TK-40's. The cameras had no louvers in their viewfinder and overheated. There were also two cameras in the NBC color mobile unit.

The first commercial RCA color camera, the TK-40A, started delivery in early 1954 to NBC Brooklyn, CBS New York and Television City, and four or so independent and affiliate stations,. The TK-40A did have viewfinder louvers, as did the eventual TK-41 which was introduced in late 1954.

CBS even added more side louvers to body of their TK-40A's atTelevision City, Hollywood.
