Maybe Chuck Pharis will sell me what I need.
Could this quest be a near miss?: As in Wayne's example 3 above, the OTA transmitter is capable of transmitting it, but the camera source isn't '53 NTSC, so that doesn't quite fly. Ed's method uses a high-quality vintage recording of a program shot with TK-41's, but it's not going to be transmitted OTA, so the Radio Shack, or whatever, video modulator [DVD -> RF MODULATOR -> CT-100] is unlikely to match a broadcast transmitter spec-for-spec.
Also in question is the capability of a DVD (ostensibly the source of TK-41 based video) to reproduce the original vintage video accurately. I'm thinking of VHS tape. As popular as it was, it doesn't reproduce NTSC in all its glory. What about a DVD though? It's capable of greater resolution than the NTSC standard, so perhaps it can deliver true '53 NTSC color as well.
Hopefully, all the issues are minor and won't aggregate into visible distortion.
