Default Re: 1973 Colour TV showroom

The TV in the very brief clip is a GEC 2000DST. Steve captured a better picture in the first post of this thread.
I have become well acquainted with one of these over the last 9 months or so as I have been gradually restoring one (it's still not quite finished!)
See http://www.vintage-radio.net/forum/s...d.php?t=137452 for more pictures.
All the best

The rigging time/cost alone would have been shocking relative to a studio shoot for the same scene. Presumably it was EMI 2001 cameras?

I believe that ATV were using Philips PC60s on OBs based in both Elstree and Birmingham at this point?

I'm led to believe by a former University professor who worked in the ATV (Elstree studios, where the aforementioned programmes were made) archive at the time of the ATV/Central TV changeover in 1981/82 that many of those programmes survived on their original 2" Quad VTs until Central took over... Considering Timeslip was made in 1970 with the other two shortly after, that's a good 11/12 years it existed on it's transmission masters!

I don't know if the archiving policy was different between the Elstree and Birmingham studios of ATV, but the percentage of missing programmes produced in either studio is about equal.

I've heard of the master tapes of Sapphire & Steel were hidden away by someone in the ATV / Central archive so they couldn't be wiped!
