stuff in photo
A BIT OF HISTORY !
lets identify the stuff in the photo. It looks to me that the radio on the shelf with the tag is a Howard general coverage receiver.It is just to the right of the RCA color bar generator. KB2LRI |

Awesome photo! I think I see a B&K 1076 Television Analyst to the left of the scope and Precision E-200 RF generators to the right.
Also some 8XP4 / 8YP4 test CRTs on the workbench. Last edited by bandersen; 03-02-2012 at 09:06 PM. |

It would be interesting to know a little bit about the history of that picture!

Wao, lots of deja vu in that pic. 'Cept the logos on the wall were RCA and DuMont/Emerson.

It sure would, but of course, there isn't any.

Barely visible in the original - I increased the contrast when I scanned it.

It looks like an awfully narrow bench. They must've used wheeled work benches for the larger sets.

Yep, wheeled work benches for the big stuff, like consoles sometimes stood on end with the chassis slid partway back.
Our benches were an 'L' configuration with an auto radio section at the far end of one. |

I visited a shop a few years ago that had an identical bench, right down to the roundie jig up in the corner. I saved the jig, the shop is gone now.

Wiremold raceway plug strip along the bench front: I have the same (except mine's above on a shelf edge) and I'll bet a lot of you do, too.

Thanks for taking the time to scan and post the photo. It is a big part of our past and I am sure that there were many hours spent bent over those chassis and possibly a few colorful words uttered at times... |

what a trip how different people dressed and looked. A bit of class I guess you could say.
I have several of those pieces. Very cool. I bet they all smoked |
