\nJanuary 13, 1957…Dinah And The Colonial Theater TK40 Cameras<\/p>\n
The Colonial Theater was NBC’s first color facility. A few seconds after this video’s start point, the first camera we see is the TK40 in it’s original configuration…notice there are no vents on the viewfinder housing. The Colonial was the only NBC theater with TK40s and these are the original four pre production\/prototype cameras that were delivered in November of 1952. Production in Camden would not start till April of 1954 with only 25 TK40s built before a quick switch to the TK41 later that year.<\/p>\n
Once the crane camera comes into view, notice it has a vented viewfinder housing, but it is still a TK40. My long study of The Colonial’s cameras has always made me wonder why they left one TK40 with the original un-vented VF cover. RCA supplied the updated, vented cover to TK40 owners once the TK41s went into production in 1954.<\/p>\n
Usually, Dinah’s show came from Burbank, but for some reason, they are in NY for a couple of weeks. Dinah’s one hour show ran on NBC from October of ’56 till May of ’63 and was always in color. Bob Banner was the producer. -Bobby Ellerbee<\/p>\n
