This is Rick Wold and his RCA TK41C and rack. Rick bought one of 2 complete chains that came available in late 2009. I'm happy to report that Chuck Pharis was able to purchase the second camera and full chain in March of 2010. The two identical cameras and chains were RCA 'stand by' units and used as loaners and extras for special events. A Michigan engineer had bought them, used them a while for production work and them stored them lovingly for twenty something years or so.

Ahh! Now the fun part! Now, it is possible for four men to get a TK41 out of a van and up on the head in one move, BUT, you have to know how to hold your month just right. I suggest the pursed lips method as seen above.

Below is a nice interior shot, the Camera Control Units in the rack and a shot of the viewfinder with the hood up. Rick told me about the mouse problem with the camera and that is not an unusual story at all. Many old cameras have been damaged by mouse urine.

Below are shots of Rick as a pup at Eau Clair's WEAU running TK42s and his contact info at the bottom.
