More on Eisenhower 1958 dedication WRC-TV colour videotape

[Aussie Bloke]

Hi all. A while ago I mentioned that on 22nd May this year it was the 50th anniversary of colour videotape recording and was talking about that Eisenhower dedication WRC-TV colour video recording.

Anyways just found an interesting site http://quadvideotapegroup.net/ which acknowledges that event and shows some snapshots of that footage on the monitors, quality is very remarkable!!! Interesting to also know the cameras used were the earlier TK-40s, not 41s.

Also mentioned was that this tape was located at the Eisenhower Library in Kansas. So I've browsed the site and have found out they do VHS dubs of their footage at a given price so I've made an enquiry about legally buying a VHS dub of this footage, hopefully it is available for purchase, if not I guess they are going suggest I contact NBC like UCLA archives have done when I contacted them a while back. Anyhow fingers crossed.
