At the time it was WCEE-TV in Rockford, IL, ch 23 now WIFR-TV. I started there in Sept 1969 and the camera was already gone to Argentina earlier that year. And we bought a TK-43 to replace it (wrong in first post). Still had the D handles but they were locked down but helped lifting the thing. I got pretty good and pushing that thing around the studio on-air. Always started with a wide shot and pushed off with my right foot on the pedestal. Left hand to pan and right hand on the steering ring. Pasty looking color though. And see the actual TK-41 here;
