60's camera

Marconi V322 came out in 1960’s to 1970’s and it is a broadcast camera, 2 specimens available.

This camera we want to use in our shoot, a man is sitting behind it and it should seem like he is filming the whole band.

Not strictly a 'broadcast' camera, but certainly a quality vidicon camera. The V322 was intended for industrial and educational studio applications and saw widespread use with educational bodies and in corporate training/promo facilities. Not to mention a few broadcasters too! The camera appears here on a 'Dennard' pedestal. Click on the image to see the reverse aspect.

This is the camera that we found on goldenagetv and I have contacted Paul Marshall and he said we could pick it up in Sessex for our shoot day for about 150 pounds. Steph wrote an e-mail to them and they answered:
“Hello Stephanie,

The address is:

Fern House
Church Road
Harby
NEWARK
Notts
NG23 7ED

It's actually 8 miles west of Lincoln, just a few miles off of the A1 Newark A46 turn off. It's a cream coloured detached house, the first (and only) one on Church Road, There's a very large green barn to the left containing most of the stock and a 34' long television OB truck to the right. It's fairly easy to find . . .

We normally operate with Purchase Order and Invoice to be paid by cheque or BACS. Cash is OK but we will still need some sort of *official* order, a formal e mail or a letter in the post with your company letter head. The price is as agreed at 150 UKP for one day. The 'one day' is flexible in that you could pick it up a day or two before and return a day or two later. The hire charge reflects one 'used' day.

Beware that the pedestal is heavy (so too is the camera). It does break up into a 'skid' and the central column with the legs folding in. It will go in a car/small van.

Hope this is all OK

Many thanks,

Best regards,

Paul Marshall
Partner, GATV”

Now we have to get the camera three days before our shoot and we asked a driver to get it with us, when we will have the camera we will work out how and how often we want to use it in out shoot.
