Sightseeing #3…The Dean Martin Show? Close, But No Cigar!

Thanks to Chuck Pharis, here is a photo of the recreated Dean Martin set, which I think was used on one of those half hour pitches for Martin CD collections.

Although the set is fake, the RCA TK41 is very real and rare too! It belongs to our friend Jim Elyea at History For Hire in Los Angeles and is one of three TK41s he owns. What makes them rare is that these TK41s came from CBS Television City. As we all know, CBS only owned six or eight TK40 and 41s and this is one of them.
