See Anyone You Know? 1984 Pool Cameramen Shoot Each Other

With the Republican National Convention coming next week, here’s a look back at the very end of the 1984 version, when Thomson cameras were in vogue at CBS. At 3:35, I see our friend Charlie Huntley. This video came from producer Phil Savenick, who has a great collection of early television memorabilia, including rare tubes once owned by Philo Farnsworth. Thanks for sharing Phil. Enjoy! -Bobby Ellerbee

Here are the cameramen from the 1984 Repubican convention photographing each other as the pool video ran out. A nice document of TV history.

    While digitizing old 3/4 tapes, I found this on the end of the pool video feed. Post-balloons and after all the stations switched away. I am glad to give you guys your :05 of fame.

    Sounds more like a Jerry Lewis Telethon
