Super Rare! First Plumbicon Tests
The smaller camera is one of two experimental models of the first color plumbicon camera from Philips. It is the predecessor of the Philips LDK1/Norelco PC60 and it ha been built inside the body of a Philips monochrome camera. It is being compared in performance by the BBC to the Marconi BD 848, which is a 3 Image Orthicon color camera, very much like the RCA TK41. The date is probably late 1963 or early 64.
