A RCA TK-41C restored to working condition!

[BBTV]

Yes, I realize this is an ancient thread. I believe there are a few other TK-41 cameras that have been caused to breathe again in the interval.

And now, here I am, trying to restore one for a museum in Ohio. I'm not terribly concerned about the electronics... that can be done but will take time. However, I've got two of them, one with Dichroic optics (trashed) and one with prism optics (a lot less trashed but still defective).

I know better than to ask for parts. But does anyone have a recommendation for an optics house that might be able to repair, or at least in the case of the Dichroic block, replace optical parts?

Second question, and again I know the answer but ... is it possible that someone might have the optical specifications RCA was using? I doubt it, because I'm sure it was a closely guarded house secret .. .but never hurts to ask.

And now back to the past.... ;-)
