Tk-31 at my ballpark and admin attention

We did a retro night at our park in Phila and my prop TK-31 made an appearance. The theme was the 60's and we did a Bandstand sketch You cannot see see Mary Poppins and the Skipper around my cam as my photo will not load. I had the cam there and fed the analog to our Sony 8000 switcher which stripped it to BW 4x3. I donned my best western shirt as Buffalo Bob.

The real cam was destroyed in a flood years ago and I rebuilt it as a prop with a working modern chip cam inside and a PS and DA. Now I need a tube closed-circuit cam to hide inside to make it more "real".

The best part was the photo that I cannot post. I got it after the event from a number that I did not know. Thanks to someone for the photo. And then the number offered me a chance at a Zoomar for the cam. Stay tuned as I chase this offer.

Now for the admin problem. I cannot upload a photo of any size. I try and I get a blank "internet cannot connect" page no matter what file size I try. I am still in the past with Windows XP in this computer.

Update...I got photos to upload. The cam, a Photoshop retro announcer shot with my old EV mic, and the camera output in BW with the same EV mic wrapped in white tape like Dick Clark would have used. The NBC logo is not a good version but all I could find that day. I did have a better one but it is lost. The viewfinder hood is a cardboard fake I made the night before as I do not have the original. And the Zoomar lens hit a dead-end. The best part was one of our interns looking at the camera and asking "Does it record?"

Steve...thanks for the understudy role while I recovered. Kam...thanks for the photo try. And does anyone have a vidicon CCTV camera in good shape they would part with? Needs to be a small form factor with C-mount lenses. RCA made zillions of them. I want the vidicon look. The cam is just for fun at this point as it was wrecked before.

Dave,

Just thought I'd post a stand in until you can upload your photo.
