A very interesting topic and great pictures too!
What I'd love to see on a vintage roundie would be some mid 70s episodes of the Australian rock show "Countdown", unfortunately we didn't get colour til 1974 so all our colour sets are rectangular. So for a bit of fun I've taken some stills from various Countdown clips dating 1974-76 of cool Aussie glam rock artists like AC/DC (early Bon Scott era), Hush, Skyhooks, John Paul Young and Sherbet and superimposed them onto a 1958 RCA CTC-7 colour TV set pic which I downloaded from an old TV collector's site which I can guess he's probably joined to this forum too. Anyways Countdown used Philips LDK-5 colour cameras right from 1974 to when it finished in 1987 and they were well adjusted giving really rich colour pictures!!! Aussie glam rock group Skyhooks (seen on bottom left and centre pics) were pretty much the first Aussie rockers to be seen in colour and took full advantage of it with their fancy costumes and makeup.
