It was a wonder that color made it home.

That seems like an urban myth to me. I worked with the TK-41's back in the 60's & early 70's. This includes KTLA receiving one of the last of the TK-41C's in 1966. I don't recall that anyone ever cared what direction the camera was pointed in during registration and set up. These were quality, well built cameras, very durable in studio and on remotes. They always produced a damn good color picture.
