dates it as 1960s, but the camera looks more ancient. The Coca Cola site says 26 oz. bottles were introduced in 1955:

Can anyone identify the camera? Image orthicon or perhaps vidicon? Make?

WALB's web site only has a photo of a much later "old" color camera that was donated to the Smithsonian.
Could be a GE and probably B/W.
A lot of stations in smaller markets didn't have the capitol to invest in color equipment, until years later.
