FINALLY! Chuck Pharis Has Unpacked!
After the move from California to Tennessee a couple of years ago, our friend Chuck has finished putting together a new camera room at his home. I’ll have more photos tomorrow, and many more of his collection in a few weeks when I go up and visit. Congratulations to Chuck on a beautifully done room and the recent acquisition of the rare Marconi Mark IIs and Mark IIIs…the only ones in the US.
U’d never have to come out..just have food brough n.hahaha
WOW Chuck, this is a great collection. The Television Academy should open up a permanent display room for your collection.
Love that the Marconis are all in a line front and center…..and that the MK4 that he’s had for a while now[?] is in the group too!
Seeing a TK45 hiding off to the left [the PC70 is aimed at it]….what’s that logo artwork I’m seeing on it?
Is that Fox 40 camera from KTXL?
Very cool!
Way to go, Chuck!
Do they all work?
Looks like a snug fit to walk through!
That’s impressive
Only video?! I know where are a bunch of the old white Photosonic cameras. Film history!
Very impressive!
Man cave!
…Chuck was the first person I looked up on the internet to help me get re-acquainted with one of my favorite subjects ..TV CAMERAS ! ! ..I am fascinated of his background with ABC, his ability to restore these vintage cameras, CCU’s and other broadcast equipment ..I was a bit sad when, many years ago, when my Dad and brother gave up our first color TV, a Heathkit GR-53A ..betcha Chuck would have loved to obtain it and possibly restore it ! ..have fun with the visit, Bobby E., and take and post some photos if you can ! ! ..tell Chuck I said HEY ! ! !
I hope he opens a museum some day. Would love to see these in person.
Thats Amazing!! So Cool..
Awesome!
Fox 40? WICZ-TV?
