Update! Most of this equipment is now at The Texas Museum of Broadcasting History & Communications in downtown Kilgore TX. Check out their Facebook page at: https://www.facebook.com/txmbc/
I had the (by appointment) opportunity to check out the Chalk Hill Educational Media museum and studios of KZQX-FM & KDOK-AM in Chalk Hill Texas today. They have put together an amazing collection of classic Television and radio equipment over the years. More pictures from my visit: http://s1117.photobucket.com/user/o.....%20Hill?page=1

Here's a pic of me with a camera once used at KXII-TV in Sherman Texas. I think I can shoot better video than BBF and Revit now! :)
Also check out these great radio stations!

I was born and raised, spent almost all my life there, then I had to leave. Just got tired of the constant theft and harassment, and it just got to the point where there was nothing to do in Portland anymore that didn't involve alcohol, pot or hard drugs. And it got to the point where I was just angry about the situation, the high unemployment and cost of living, the fact that PPB won't even take a report if nobody got sent to the hospital (had two cars stolen and my home broken into so many times it's not funny without so much as being able to leave a report with the police), yet, drive around at night while redskin, and they got all the time in the world to harass you... And that's not even getting into the times I got assaulted in Portland. My favorite was getting punched in the ear so hard my glasses got stuck in my earlobe by a random stranger just because I was holding hands with my boyfriend on the Blue Line.
Never knew either wasn't normal until I spent a summer in Oklahoma, and life in greater Tulsa was a very welcome and immediate breath of cosmopolitan progressiveness compared to Portland.
Which is sad, because I remember when Portland actually acted like it had a future and was generally an awesome place to live.

Yeah, that's a serious camera. Given the journal title, I came here expecting fly girls. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=672Uod0X-1g I am somewhat disappoint. ^^ Of course, given how old that show is now, I might believe a similar camera was used to film it.
I'm digging that mechanical phonograph on the left for sure.

I live in Sherman Texas.... and my Father In Law was one of the operators of that KXII camera when it was in use. He has many awards from his film and photography career, and his work at KXII. I have in my possession, the camera my father in law used, for a photograph he took of a sunset on lake Texoma that won a Kodak award for best photo. Now that I know where this is, maybe we can go out there and check it out... i'm sure he would love the nostalgia of it all. :)
Thanks! Right now it's a personal collection and you have to make arrangements to see it. The owner is working on buying a building in downtown Kilgore and moving his collection to make it a public museum. Check out this video.

What cause it? The japanese companies dumped TV's into the US market in the 60's along with other consumer electronics and the american companies tried shifting production to overseas plants or culd not compete and closed plants in the US. Our first color TV was a 1967 RCA Victor entertainment center. My first new tv was a Canadian RCA 25 inch tabletop that had the old RCA logo. It lasted a couple of years until it died. This was 1993 after Hurricane Andrew. RCA quality went down the tube after Thomson Consumer Electronics bought them and the GE brand in 1988. RCA TV's are now owned by the chinese... I believe TLC. David Sarnoff is spinning in his grave.
My family had a couple of RCA stereos and Televisions over the years.
I had a portable RCA record player when I was a kid in the 60's.
My mother still has their RCA Vista console stereo they bought in 1966. The turntable needs a lot of work (its all gummed up) but the FM tuner still works fine in it.
In the early 80's my parents bought a 25 inch RCA Colortrak TV wood console, which they kept until the late 90's when they finally upgraded to a (then) big 32 inch Sony. I think it went to the TV dealer for repairs just once!
And also in the early 80's I got a 19 inch RCA Colortrak TV with digital tuner for my bedroom. It was a great TV. I used it for about 5 years until I gave it to my brother..
