CLASSIC! RCA TK41s In Action At NBC Brooklyn Studios

At 12:58 and 23:35, you’ll see the great RCA TK41s in action at NBC Brooklyn. The date was March 13, 1966 and the production was ‘The Bell Telephone Hour’. That episode was ‘The Music Of The Movies’ and in the clip you’ll see (Oz scarecrow) Ray Bolger and a young Peter Marshall. This rare footage is from an interesting AT&T film that touts the reliability of their services to all types of industries. Enjoy!

    Looks like “Hollywood Squares” star Peter Marshall in the song and dance number with Ray Bolger.

    Mike I’m no expert but I remember reading that early on the sound went a totally different route than the video. By late 70’s and early 80’s sound was muxed in with the video. I think this was mostly for sync and routing ease but it was a wider, cleaner channel than the earlier method you were hearing.

    I don’t ever remember seeing any of these videos when I was growing up in the ’60’s but I’m hooked on them now.

    learned a lesson about the low audio quality of network telecasts using the AT&T lines. On a mid-70’s trip to Los Angeles I was surprised at the vibrant audio on The Tonight Show as telecast through KNBC without the use of those AT&T audio lines. It was like the difference between listening to music in AM and FM.
