Marconi B3200 colour television
camera
(early cameras had the BD848 number from the previous model)
This is the third and last of Marconi's Image Orthicon cameras. It was
a really big camera with three 3 inch Image Orthicon tubes in it. Soon
after this was designed Philips invented the Plumbicon tube and Marconi
Made the MkVII 4 tube colour camera.
It used the 101 cable
with the slow thread brass connector.
There is an announcement in Practical Television June 1962, stating that
the Marconi BD848 made it's first appearance at the National Association
of Broadcasters Convention in Chicago.
I will be writing more about this camera and adding more pictures later.
