Marconi Mk8 Count

[J Ballard]

The Museum of Broadcast Technology in Woonsocket (US) has a single MK VIII camera, sans CCU. I don't know if it is an A or B model. It came from WKY-TV. If anyone has a CCU, let us know.

Didn't the CBC have some in Montreal(?)

I believe this camera had a wideband green channel, wavelength shifted, much like the Fernseh KCu/KCK models. An engineer from Marconi called it "gruminance."

Where were the MK IXs sold?
