Marconi Mark IVs and RCA TK60s In Action!

From Jerry Lewis’s ‘The Patsy’ from 1964, this clip captures two great TV studio scenes. The first shows the Marconis in action and the second shows the TK60. Had the camera uses been reversed, it would have been correct as Sullivan never had TK60s, but did have Marconi Mark IVs. Since KTLA was owned by Paramount at the time, the Marconi cameras were theirs and that scene was probably shot there.
