Philco update. Took a look today at 50-T1875. Gave it an Old English wipedown and it looks great. Blew it out with an air can and still need to clean more. The FB looks fine. The 17BP4 is a replacement from Continental Electronics. No date code. The tubes have dates from late 1950 to mid-1964. The changer is missing the cartridge and will wait. I did find a guy in Phila that does great work on changers. Got a Moto badged VM done by him and it is perfect.
Penthode...the TK got a Panasonic 4x3 CCD from about 10 years ago that uses a multi-pin connector for power, has a genlock input and multiple dip switches for AGC, etc. It takes C-mount lenses and I use an old Sony zoom lens or fixed lenses from my 16mm Bolex. I built a platform for the camera with Velcro so I can move the camera around depending on the lens. I use a small proc amp to strip off the color. I'll take some pix and start a new thread for the TK down in broadcast gear.
