Pictures of newly arrived TK41C

[julianburke]

Several members wanted pictures and here are a few quickies and some more cameras that I have moved to my house from main warehouse. The 41 came with all of the standard Ectar lens'. (50, 90 and 135mm) It is missing two IO tube housings (red and blue) with the yoke assemblies. Also missing are the "Color Television" logos. (anyone know of any?) I have some brushed chrome ones from a television system that was the same but I need to find a foundry who could duplicate them so they can be painted red as were the originals.

After I uncrated it today, it has a NASA property tag next to the RCA data plate so I assume it was originally shipped to NASA in Florida. Does anyone have any info or pictures of what they used it for? It could have been used for their internal weather reports.

This camera is huge! (about 5 feet long not including lens)
