RCA TK45: 1960 Version
Built for the medical industry, this color camera was usually ceiling mounted and looked down at the operating table via a 45 degree mirror. I guess the TK11 type body with handles was needed to support it and that’s why it has a different configuration than the TK41. Here it is on a pedestal. Click to see the whole image. Thanks to Lytle Hoover at Old Radio,com for the photo.
Good to see they were using the “cooking mirror” in the operating room.
Is there any record of this camera being used at the networks? The reason I ask is that I have recollections of seeing a camera that looked like and RCA b and w camera dollying in to shoot an overhead closeup of a jewelry item on a game show (probably The Price is Right) that was a color show. I could never figure that out.’
