Older Rose Bowls in color on ESPN Classic

[frenchy]

Would find it very hard to believe they would still be using TK-41s then (?), especially for something outdoors like that where they would not want to mess with old heavy equipment.

Hey Dave,

Currently watching the 1978 Rose Bowl game on ESPN Classic. I can't believe how blurry the picture is. I know tape was capable
of providing a much better image even in 1978.

And Frenchy,
We hauled those huge cumbersome TK-41's all over the place in the 60's & 70's. Football, baseball, parades, you name it. They were all we had color wise for many years. It was amazing the places we could shoehorn those things into. 4 men just to lift the camera body without the viewfinder attached.

Probably explains my back problems today.
