G'day all.
As we know from the 1950s to the mid 1960s the RCA TK-41 camera was the main colour camera used in colour television studios. However General Electric made their own TK-41 type IO colour cameras, the first one being the PE-15 and the later model the PE-25. A couple of pictures of the PE-15 used at WRGB-TV can be viewed here:

I am very curious about these cameras as I am hard pushed to find any pics and info on them.
I was wondering if any of you know how many of these cameras were made, how many still exist, how many other TV stations used these cameras besides WRGB-TV and which shows used these cameras?
Apparently a PE-15 is reported to have survived according this camera survey
http://www.eyesofageneration.com/Survey.php and is in the hands of collector Martin Perry.
Anyways any info on these cameras would be much appreciated.
