Latest pix of TK-30 on remote

[Ralph S]

This is the first time I've taken the working TK-30A out on remote. The location is the Pickford Center of the Academy of Motion Pictures Arts and Sciences in Hollywood. You might not know it, but this building was the original home base for Don Lee's 1930s television station and later, CBS's Los Angeles local station, then called KNXT. Other occupants since then have been ABC for its headquarters for the Olympic Games in 1984 (?) and KCET (PBS in LA) and its productions for "Hollywood Television Theater."

In this case this evening was the opening reception for the Association of Moving Image Archivists' "The Reel Thing" a technical symposium on new methods for image preservation.

As you can see in the pictures, the room was mostly empty as the reception was just beginning and early attendees were clustered around the "bar" in the adjoining room. Later on more than 250 people jammed into the room where the camera was and enjoyed seeing themselves on the IO camera.
