I believe these are not camcorded copies but original program copies which are showing drastic setup differences in the cameras.

#4 is a single camera duet that shows what looks like a mask in the LR corner. If you pull the slider over the clip, you can see the "mask" drift in and out as if a tube orbiter was engaged. I don't know if TK41's had this function, but it sure looks like what I saw in my TK-42 orbiter days.

Clip #3 is a three-camera number and you can see the "mask" jump around on the cuts and drift on all three and clearly a different set of cameras. Camera #3 does not appear until the middle of the number. There are large masks in all three cameras in the lower corners not seen in #4.

I was surprised to see such differences but if a round tube set had no corners to show...who cares. Let 'em drift...the star is in the middle.

The more I look at the clips, I suspect that some of the clips come from 3/4" copies given the sort rolling break-up in a few places and the head switch lines at the bottom. Typical of 3/4". 2" break-up was more drastic.
