‘NBC News Overnight’…The Final Minutes & More In Two Video Clips Many have called this “the best written, best executed news program ever produced”. I agree…I watched it every night. Before I get too far along, at the link above, Linda Ellerbee talks about ‘Overnight’ in the same style that endeared her to so many. […]

Bobby, do you have teleprompter?
Well done!
Waiting for the tour of your garage!
Bobby, your house is the Smithsonian of Television~!!!
What about Norelco PC 70 and PC 100?
Please follow up with the garage tour!
Great tour!
Great tour, Bobby! You have an excellent broadcasting voice!
Bobby, were you ever an announcer in broadcasting? If not, you should have been. Your collection (part of) is beyond impressive. And your website is one of my top favorites.
Beats collecting stamps, I guess.
Nice! Have filmmakers asked to use your cameras for scenes in movies?
You made my day Bobby. Thanks again for showing the Eyes of a generation. This is how we viewed the world back then .
WOW what a great tour of our history. Thank you so much for sharing and your passion for our industry.
Wow…he must have a huge garage!
We now have a Texas Museum of Broadcasting, they have a Facebook page in case anyone is interested. It just opened a short time ago.
Ha! GE “station wagon” woodgrain: that is hilarious.
Bobby, just watched your camera tour again and wondered if you have ever run across an Ikegami 357? Throughout the 80’s, the 357 was the workhorse of most rental remote trucks across the United States. Most of them had either a Canon 40/1 or a Fujinon 44/1. I got to shoot with quite a few of them. Worked the ’88 Olympics in Seoul, and saw NHK used them with a push rod zoom.
My experience 1968-1970 was with GE 250 upgraded to 350 four tube plumicon. A dream to setup and register, great picture. Had an Anginox 10:1 lens.
liked Jerry to a point…when he showed some of that “Buddy Love” character in real life.
Your collection is absolutely mind-blowing !! Thanks for sharing !
