Life Magazine photos--CTC-5 as studio monitor?
Run, don't walk, to the new Google site that's posted millions (!) of Life Magazine photos.
http://images.google.com/hosted/life Check this out: http://images.google.com/hosted/life...b377906d3f4a74 Is that a CTC-5 complete with legs hanging from the rafters? This came up on a search for "Dinah Shore. See also this great photo: http://images.google.com/hosted/life...dbab3f5e6ea4ef Must be more treasures in there. Not sure if they're downloadable, though.

That looks so cool! That is a CTC5, they just added the bracket to hang a regular console up in the ceiling. I wonder whatever happened to them?

Wow, I'm digging these pictures.
There is a cool series from 70 / 71 of rock musicians w/ parents at their parent's home. found by searching the 70's pictures using band names. Frank Zappa with parents! David Crosby with his dad:

Most of you may not know that David Crosby's father, Floyd Crosby, was a famous and very important cinematographer in Hollywood (High Noon, Bus Stop, etc.). Before that he worked with Robert Flaherty (Nanook of the North, Tabu, etc.) So when you crank up your CTC-5's you'll probably run into his work in both black and white and color.

Amazing! Type in "color tv" and see what shows up including this view of the rare CBS color wheel camera.
http://images.google.com/hosted/life...b8b87029a2b498 and the color medical demos on CBS color scanning monitors http://images.google.com/hosted/life...b8b87029a2b498 and this engineer doing a back-focus adjustment on a TK-40. http://images.google.com/hosted/life...27f279595e2e7f This could be a whole new thread with finds.

Thanks for posting the great photos. And for the link to the site. I worked, off and on at NBC Burbank in the early 60's. I don't recall the CTC-5 console audience monitors, but they had updated to later roundies that were off the shelf consumer table models, the low cost black metal RCA's, modified for a direct video feed.
