| Vintage Cameras and Studio
Setups
I don't have any model numbers, any descriptions on how cameras
work, or comments on camera designs at this time. I just thought you'd like to
see a variety of TV cameras over the years.
Thanks to Rick Plummer in Iowa for a lot of pictures and
technical help.
And there's more cameras, studios, and control room pictures
at:
