Lone Star Beer TK-40
 

Just for fun. Found this photo today on the computer while cleaning files. No idea where I got it from. Can you be DUI behind a TK-40 with a snootfull of Lone Star? Let the ebay searching begin! And if you do not want it, let me know if you find one...or have one.

Thats a classic,Dig the LSB TV on the camera's side,
Good luck finding a copy!

What a great ad. Wonder where they used that.

this is an advertisement of a beer the "lone star" I also had in PC this photo taken by an American website

I've encountered a few cameramen who were DUI while on the job.

Hindsite....I should have been! Would it be SUI instead of DUI??

TK-41, not Tk-40, I believe - note louvers for cooling

Louvers in Early RCA Color Cameras
 

Wayne,

The four RCA cameras in the first NBC production studio, at the Colonial Theater in NYC, were TK-40's. The cameras had no louvers in their viewfinder and overheated. There were also two cameras in the NBC color mobile unit.

The first commercial RCA color camera, the TK-40A, started delivery in early 1954 to NBC Brooklyn, CBS New York and Television City, and four or so independent and affiliate stations,. The TK-40A did have viewfinder louvers, as did the eventual TK-41 which was introduced in late 1954.

CBS even added more side louvers to body of their TK-40A's atTelevision City, Hollywood.
