Ever Seen A Marconi Mark IV In Color?

Having just posted the story below of the Mark IVs at Television City, I thought I would add this color photo of my Mark IV. Although CBS painted many of their cameras Navy Grey, I think the one in that photo is still it’s original color. This is the original Champagne color of these great cameras. This is the first Marconi model with handles and they were the same color as the camera, but on later models like the Mark VII color cameras, the handles had a brushed aluminum look.

    Back in the 1970’s (and while still an adolescent), I had the opportunity to see the Marconi cameras up close and in action at KNXT (now KCBS), the CBS O&O in Los Angeles at Columbia Square. A friend of our family was Stu Rosen, the producer and star of a Emmy-winning children’s program called “Dusty’s Treehouse.” Since I was already interested in television, he would sometimes take me to the studio to observe the show’s weekly taping (with me watching from the back row of the control room).
