RCA Exhibition Studio…1964 World’s Fair
To give the RCA TK41s on display something to do, RCA offered to do live and recorded public service shows from their facility. This is a taping of The Bronx Zoo Show. Many of us that visited usually saw only an empty studio, but at least we got to see the TK41s.
read that visitors could see themselves in color on a unique tape delay created for the fair. Two color VTRs were placed side-by-side….with the video tape in a loop between them. This created a ten second delay from the time the tape passed from the record VTR to the playback VTR….allowing visitors to see themselves. Follow this link to see an incredibly rare color video from 1965. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s9Vm_peHmKg
When I visited they were televising a one act play.
