What a great perspective!
Awesome! You’re right Bobby – I’ve never seen the camera wide open like that. Thanks for the posting!
I have some photos of the assembly line. I’ll dog them up for you.
All those rolled paper capacitors on that center strip. When I was young, I powered up some old equipment and actually had one of those rupture, cracking the black Bakelite overwrap which normally held the color bands identifying the value. Those were marginally better than the paper caps stuffed in paper tubes with a printed value and working voltage on them, then dipped in wax. Moisture still got into those. No wonder it is a challenge for Chuck Pharis and others to restore those cameras to working condition.
Metal chassis with phenolite terminal bars, I imagine how much is the size of this same circuit if it is built with printed circuit boards…
That’s what happened when the TK-41 first saw Dagmar!
…I was very fortunate to have operated a TK-41 in the early 70’s ..never thought I would ever ! ..what a beast but it panned and tilted so smoothly ! ..many thanks, Bobby E. for this site !
Brings back old memories
I would love to build TK 41 if any one has any dimensional plans for.the cab please let me know and watch Mr breathe new life into this iconic camera.
