Notes
The Philips LDk25 camera is the multicore cable
version of the LDK5. It used TV-36 or F&G 752-5 cables instead of
Triax. There are a number of other differences and simplifications in
the camera but the CCU and PSU are completely different from the LDK5s
base station.
I am not sure of the date that the LDK25 was introduced, the earliest
reference I have found is spring 1975, so c.1974 seems plausible.
The early "A" version was possibly made by Norelco and it has
different frame and panel castings. It used round "military"
connectors to interconnect the CCU, PSU and local control panel. The later
"B" version used european rectangular "MRAC" connectors.
For the american market the
Norelco LDK25 had the (option?) of a TV81 camera cable connector. There
are pictures of both camera styles in this section.
The Philips LDK15 was the portable
companion camera that used the same CCU, PSU & local control panel.
