Found Photos taken in 1964 live off roundie
Hi all,
In going through some old slides, I found these that I took back in 1964. These were taken off our 1963 Silvertone 21" roundie during a color broadcast of an NBC quiz show. They were taken with Anscochrome slide film and I processed the film myself in my old darkroom. I am sure there is some fading from these old slides but I wanted to share them with you. 1964ColorTV001.jpg 1964ColorTV002.jpg 1964ColorTV003.jpg 1964ColorTV004.jpg 1964ColorTV005.jpg

Interesting pictures, thanks for sharing them with us. The one from a commercial
looks very monochrome, could be a B&W ad, I suppose.

A time capsule! I enjoy seeing those.
A distant relative of my wife was sharing a video transfer of an old 8mm film taken c.1961. There were numerous shots of their color roundie (looked like an RCA CTC-11) including Bonanza, the Tonight Show, the peacock, etc. They were obviously very proud of it. I noticed in some other scenes there was a bw portable sitting on top; my impression was that the color set was on the blink.

These are great!
I was hoping the decoration on the floor might be the same as shown in the Playboy ad shown in http://www.audiokarma.org/forums/sho...d.php?t=187536, but it's different. Now to bug you with some questions: 1) Do you know what show this was? 2) Do you have the capability to color correct the slide fading? I will happily volunteer to do them in Photoshop.

Thanks for sharing those awesome pictures, it's fantastic to see photos of colour sets in action from the 50s and 60s and those images are of awesome quality. I've downloaded your slide pics and have done an auto equalization job on them in Corel Photopaint and the colour has really come out good. Here they are:

Glad you all like the pictures. Anyone can do anything they wish with them. Aussie, your color corrections are great, thank you!
As to what the show was, I can't remember other than it was in the late weekday morning on NBC. As to what happened to our old 21" Silvertone, well, this was the best color TV we ever had. My parents bought it for Christmas in 1963 from Sears, who said back then, it was really made by RCA. (Not sure if that was true or not but it had the same controls as an RCA). At any rate, the set was delivered on a Monday and the first color show I saw on it was the quiz show, 'You Don't Say' at 3:30 EST. Later that night, I watched 'Wagon Train' in color on ABC, then 'Sing Along With Mitch' and the Tonight Show both in color on NBC. A technician came the following day to "set-up" the set, - align the guns and adjust the purity etc. The set had the best color I had ever seen and even outdid and outlasted a 1967 Zenith 19" square tube set we bought in 1967. Sadly to say that in 1997, with the set still running great, it was carted off to the junk man since we had a newer 25" color set. I know, what a waste since the set still worked great. If I knen then what I know now! Last edited by John Hafer; 11-19-2008 at 02:40 PM. Reason: spelling error

Truth or Consequences, I believe, perhaps?!

Old TV Nut, these were taken off WSYR-TV Ch. 3 in Syracuse New York, back in the winter of 1964. I believe WSYR-TV ch. 3 is now called WSTM-TV. WSYR-TV ch. 9, the current ABC affiliate in Syracuse in not the same station.

Quote:
There was a small college CATV system "Synapse" back then, but my dorm wasn't on it (seemed that they'd have to route the cable underground along a steam tunnel or such, and that would violate some silly law about franchises or such (and they used to worry about silliness like that then). Not that it mattered that much, it would have only fed one TV in a main lounge in the entire dorm anyway. And the extra channels were just some bad locally produced programs from the local broadcast journalism school, a division of SU. Just as well that TV in Syracuse was boring, I spent the time studying anyway. During my senior year, someone on campus put up a pirate TV station one weekend on channel 7, called "Lucky 7". A brief mention of this made the New York Times, possibly the first pirate TV station ever done. Local paper said they built the transmitter from parts from an old guitar amp (the output tubes probably would work well on VHF). This was back when VCRs first hit the market, and some of the shows were Star trek shows and such. Also some material that wouldn't meet FCC decency rules...
