The Ultimate Mailbox For A Television Guy…
A friend in Indiana is in the used broadcast gear business and has put some of his obsolete inventory to good use. Enjoy and share!
Nice to see the FP1212. I have one with a VAROTOL ZOOM but no
Please trell me he gutted it first. (and it’s a horable waste of a listec/linten ped.
Neat . I’ve been thinking of turning a tk76 into a lunch box.
makes a great mail box!
This is SO cool! I may have to borrow this idea!
Will the post office actually deliver to this?
I ran one of those back in the early 70’s while in college. Worked at the local on campus PBS station. The station could only afford one at the time. So for almost a year, we did shows with one camera!! It was a hoot! 🙂
This Hitachi camera is very similar to the Shibaden FPC-1000u 3-vidicon camera I used when I worked in Cable TV during the early 70s. Shibaden was subsequently acquired by Hitachi.
Wouldn’t last five minutes in a South Florida neighborhood.
It only accepts registered mail 🙂
I had a friend who converted an Ampex 1000 VTR into a bar.
Great idea for a rural area…I have a GE PE-400, and the city & the USPS will not allow it as a mailbox..Oh well I see one TV camera made it to a pedestal for all to enjoy.
Hitachi? Yeah, that’s about right…
Cameras belong in production, not post.
Does he register it with USPS Video Control?
Lives not far from me…..quite the head turner.
If they had mailboxes on the street I live on, we’d have this. Right Maryanne? Please?
Does the tally light go on when there is mail?
Makes me wonder if anyone has ever mistaken it for a traffic camera 😀
