This TK41 Is A Killer!

About 10 days ago, I posted a TK41 from MGM’s prop department asking you if it was “Live Or Memorex”. Thanks to our friend Mike Clark, we can see that camera in action shooting more than just pictures! For an episode of ‘The Girl From U.N.C.L.E,’ guest star Peggy Lee plays a villain who has a TK41 modified into a machine gun (turret?) to be used against U.N.C.L.E. agents April Dancer and Mark Slate.

    Al, it wasn’t a Grass, it was an AMPEX switcher 😉

    Don’t forget that a Grass Switcher can also activate a Death Star.

    Off topic, but I still maintain the TCR-100 could be easily re-purposed as a sandwich vending machine.

    I’m sure if you asked the RCA engineers, they could deliver this functionality too.
    One time I saw a Grass Valley 300 switcher in an editing suite that could trigger a coffee machine to start a brewing cycle.
