If it can help, someone just told me it could be an RCA from the 60's. If you find any reference pics please post the link.

If you don't know what camera I'm talking about, you can see a part of it in this trailer http://www.retrojunk.com/details_trailer/161/

OK, so someone just told me it was a General Electric PC-4 from 1950, so I'll stick with that. It was nice talking with...well, ALONE! lol!

Finally I got an answer from an expert, Mr. Chuck Pharis... If you wondered what kind of camera it was, here's what he told me;

"It looks like someone took 3 different cameras and made one camera.
I see a:
RCA TK-11/31
DuMont 124-B
and parts from a RCA TK-31. (the little box on the side of the camera).
I have over 150 vintage cameras in my collection, and have never seen this exact camera before."

Here's his website if you're interested in vintage TV related stuff; http://www.pharis-video.com/
