So...maybe the MZTV Museum in Toronto would have photos that include this engineer's photo?
I remember Arnold! I saw him as a kid on a morning show in the early '80's discussing various sets from his collection. I was fascinated with the 1920's sets and loved the little Pilot TV-37. It set me off to want to collect vintage TV's. I heard he sold off his extensive collection at one point, but I always wondered about it.
