There are 10 more cameras on display in this room and 80 more in the garage, but 70 of those are ENG cameras. If you like this, I’ll post more soon. Enjoy and share! -Bobby Ellerbee

October 31, 1950…Trick Or Treat? My Parents Would Say, BOTH! Yep, today’s my birthday and at 3:20 this afternoon, I’ll be 64 years old. I’m not sure, but that probably makes me the oldest student at The University Of Georgia. Most don’t know, but in August, I started back to school at my old alma […]

Excuse me, there’s a peacock on your floor.
If you could fire up all those cameras, you could shut down your furnace!
You must know Paul Beck from Massachusetts – He’s started a television equipment museum with not only cameras that go way back, but VTR’s, switchers, etc. His collection might be larger than yours.

Hey, if I can make a request… our office used to shoot news on film back around 1971 on a Yoder-modified Auricon 16mm film camera with the extended 400 foot mags. We surplussed the Nagra that went with it but kept the Auricon. I know it’s not an electronic ENG camera but, I thought maybe you or a reader with 70’s news video expertise know where I can find a clean outline drawing of what those old Mitchell mags for the Auricons were shaped like, as I want to make a prop/dummy mag to plug into our Auricon to make it more show-worthy to our studio visitors. I need the outline or a flatbed scan of one side of one of these mags, in jpeg or pdf?
80! My lord.
I’m wating…thanks
Very Nice Bobby
Wow what a great collection you have. Brings back lots of memories when I used to go to the local TV stations in Ft. Wayne, IN. I loved television and all the behind the scenes stuff. The camera in the back left with the CBS logo were what most the stations had back when it was all black & white. It’s amazing isn’t it Bobby how much has changed over the years. I would love to see lots more pics of your collection. Way cool man.
