Marconi MkIX Television Camera A & B differences

This camera serial Number 114 is an A version. It does not have the "Lantern" ventilation nor is there a fan fitted in the up stand above the PSU. See note on page 2.

 

The Geometry corrector card has a metal tab, to prevent removal of the main PSU until the geometry corrector card is removed, not sure why, it may be a hang over from the Marconi MkVIII? Compare with camera on page 4.

Also note the Taylor Hobson lens servo amplifier module in slot 1.
