Back Stage on “The Price Is Right”
Now this is interesting…we have Noreclo PC70s at Television City in 1982. I think the next cameras there were Ikegami HK312s. This piece is from a local morning show somewhere called ‘2 On The Town’. Enjoy.

The Baughman Pedestal
The Baughman Pedestal This little mobile pedestal was a real work horse from the 1950s till the 80s. Originally made by Baughman, Houston Fearless copied it as did other camera support makers including ITC. There was a hydraulic version and this one, the manual crank version for height adjustment. This is my RCA TK11/31 mounted […]

I think CBS used the PC-70’s at TV City into the early 80’s and replaced them with Hitachi SK-110’s.
That is correct Martin. TV City never had Ike studio cams as far as I can recollect. “Two on the Town” was produced at KNXT on Sunset. Their studio cams were Thomson TTV 1515’s (not shown on this clip).
If I have it right, the Norelco-to-Hitachi switch happened some time in early 1984…which means the Norelcos’ reign lasted just about 20 years! Incredible.
