the last tube cameras were built until 1991,like the sony bvp-360 shown in the pics.. uses 3 plumbicon tubes..hitachi and ikegami all ended tube cameras at the same time..
i have 2 of these.!they work excellent.. and in one of the pics it is feeding a roundie ctc-7 if you can find it..
and i am holding $35,000 in my hand from one of sony bvp360's,an optical block assy with pickup tubes.. they are no way as large as what was out in the early days of color,this was sonys last tube broadcast Studio camera.at a price of $200.000 per camera .these cameras give a "film " like picture..
at a push of a button from the camera control unit the camera will then go thru auto setup..it will even do complete zone convergence.. corners and all all by itself,the lens has a built in test patten and regulated light built into..
kinda fun to watch this all happen.. and listen to the motors spinning around test patterns as it setsup all by itself
