Finally…A HOT CAMERA! I’m quite happy to finally have a working camera in my collection. This is a Sony BVP 370, the first Sony chip camera and it came from WXIA/WATL in Atlanta complete with rack and monitor. In the video I call it a 360 tube camera, but found out just after I did this that it was the 370.
The rack controls 3 BVP 360 hard body cameras and one handheld. I have all 3 hard bodied cameras and am quite greatful to many people for all their help in obtaining, transporting and set up including Gary C, Joe L, Gary L, John M and Cliff C. One slip in my narration…Pat Weaver was the first president of NBC TV, not RCA TV.
Great video of video camera history
You have a great collection of cameras…simply great.
love the tk 47 and the norelco
Very nice! I really love your collection. I have a couple of BVP-370’s but again no CCU’s or cables. I’m not a serious collector like you are but I couldn’t stand to see them hit the dumpster. My life would really be complete to own a PC-70.
What a great personal tour of your collection Bobby! Thoroughly enjoyed the walk thru, just like being able to visit in person. Maybe you can talk some other collectors in doing this too ?!
Wow!!! Now what you need is an Ampex VR-2000 to record the pictures from your new Sony.
A wonderful collection – what other things could be on your wish list?
Love it!!!!! Thanks for the tour.
Good stuff!
Great collection and video Bobby!
