Re: Rank Cintel TK
The particular MK 1 I referred to was quite old, & at the time, in 1968/9, had only been fairly recently 'colourised'. The racks were a mix of the older Cintel colours, a sort of ' Marconi hammered bronze', and also some black & green.
Definitely valves, I think there were SP61's used in the video channels.. I actually found an old 'baccy' tin recently, that had resistors which had been removed from the RGB channels when I did some mods. Very sad, I must have a good clear-out!
Just to think, that the output from this TK, in RGB, then went into an encoder that took up nearly a whole 6' rack...Now you can get an encoder in a match-box.
The output was then displayed on a Rank Cintel monitor - was it a CVB3136?
Even that had a separate Pal decoder slung underneath it. Our workshop had one of these monitors for each bench, they were real monsters.
