JUST ADDED TO THE COLLECTION!
I’m happy to share these first pictures of an Ikegami 377 that I have just added to my collection.
The green CBS logos are added as a tribute to 46 year CBS veteran cameraman Dave Dorsett who retired from the David Letterman show in December, 2011. Each camera on that stage has a different colored CBS logo and this was Dave’s color.
This camera is one of two 377s I have. Both began service at Turner Broadcasting and later were donated to WPBA in Atlanta and were recently retired. My thanks to WPBA for these cameras and for helping me round out the collection to include some of the more recent studio sized, hard bodied cameras.
Message didn’t make it through, but I responded to your e-mail. Look forward to chatting.
We had three 377’s and two 377P’s in studio West One at TCI’s National Digital Television Center. When we bought somewhere in the neighborhood of 20 HK-388W and 388P’s for another NDTC studio, NDTC LA (Actually in Santa Monica) and the old TCI Remote truck, Ikegami changed out the original 377’s to 388’s. They’re still using 388’s and 388P’s in some SD studios there.
She’s a beauty, Bobby! Congratulations 🙂
