Pye Mk3 Television Camera

Posed picture of camera with an impressive set of lenses, in practice the "short" wide angle lens would not have been used with the long telephoto lens(es) as it would be in the view offered by the "short" lens.

The paint colours are typical of the passage of time. Pye equipment of the period was produced in two tones of blue. The light blue is quite stable but the darker "blue" was somewhat variable. It may be that the panel with the "ATV" on it started life on a different camera?
