RCA TK-11 IO camera on eBay

[cbenham]

Camera and head+tripod currently ~$3000. eBay number 330788125185.
Not mine. Just over a day left.

Does anyone know why this camera has two settings for vertical deflection?

One says 'normal' and one says 'film'. The next control to the left says 'film centering'.

Thanks, just curious.

Wild guess - because the camera would be pointed into the projector, the image would be mirror reversed, and perhaps upside down? Might this be a vertical reversal switch?

It sold for $5500.

Ya' know Wayne, some days my brain just never syncs up until it gets a solid reboot!
