On the left is one of the original set chairs from &#8217;60 Minutes&#8217; on display in the lobby of the CBS Broadcast Center. <\/p>\n<p>It is very likely one of the same chairs seen in Glenn Mack&#8217;s 1973 photo of the old set which shared space with &#8216;Captain Kangaroo&#8217; in what I think was Studio 46 or 47. &#8217;60 Minutes&#8217; has always used the chroma key effect on the story set ups with each reporter.

I think this is Cronkite&#8217;s desk, but an not sure. More on Walter&#8217;s desk in the next post!
