I seem to remember reading that when KHJ-TV added live studio color around 1967 (the last to the party, apparently), they went with Norelco PC-70's - which were also used by KTTV and KABC-TV. KNXT, I seem to recall, had Marconi Mark VII color cameras, and KNBC had RCA TK-41's (of course!). KTLA had both TK-41's and PC-70's. (If I'm mistaken on any of the above, feel free to set us all straight.)

As for the "intrusion" at the 1:04 mark, the bottom looks more to me like a boom mic stand than a camera pedestal.

That would be a good shootout: TK-41 vs PC-70

Which one would win ? TK-41 I think

How about KMEX channel 34 and KLXA channel 40?

Upgrade kit for PE-250 to PE-350

There have been some discussions on this thread whether a station or network was using either GE PE-250 or PE-350 cameras. GE came out with a "retrofit" kit to update any PE-250s' to PE-350s' so given the improvements of the PE-350, unless the station or network was under financial stress with budgets, or unless they were soon planning on selling off their PE-250s' I would assume many did upgade their models to PE-350s' (see attached ad for upgrade kit).

Wasn't it also possible, besides these upgrades of PE-250 cameras to PE-350 status, that some stations upgraded their Norelco PC-60's to PC-70's in a similar manner (that is, via retrofit kits)? Many cameras with "round applied handles" like the PC-60 had a center belt with metal Norelco logo plates as were on the PC-70's, and looked as they did in very early ads (March 1966) for the PC-70 when it was first introduced.

That's what I'm wondering too.
