TK-31 camera control unit
Went to the local hamfest today...my how they have shriveled...and found this CCU for a 50's TK-31 sitting in the back of a SUV. $10 later it was mine. Seller had it for 30 years. He got it from a tv shop he worked at and the shop got it from a local TV engineer. Likely Philadelphia Ch. 6 or 10. No markings other than "3" as in Cam 3.
Side panels were long gone. Dirt and packing foam laying on the bottom. It is a combination B&W monitor and oscilloscope waveform monitor (3KP1). It needs a separate power supply and sync generator in similar suitcases to run and the interconnect cables. None to be found so it is just a display to go along with my prop TK-31 from other threads. The setup could use a fourth suitcase that was a five input switcher. I cleaned it out for display after the photos.
