We rescued this RCA TCR-100 and the Ampex 1200 from a TV station in Alabama.
I'm happy to report that we found a great home for the TCR.  It is now in the Museum of Broadcast Technology in Woonsocket, Rhode Island.  See more...

We are the home of the DuMont Telecruiser, which is currently under restoration

This picture came from original DuMont Sales literature.  Not only is this "just like" the vehicle we are restoring, it is the vehicle we are working on.  It is DuMont Telecruiser Model B, Serial Number 101.  We speculate that it was the prototype for the design.  It seems Dumont made several of these.  This one went to Channel 8 in Dallas, which was called KBTV at the time.  The station was subsequently sold to The Dallas Morning News (A. H. Belo Corp.)   The bus served in remote duty in Dallas until about 1972, when it was sold at auction to a private party.  We purchased it from the estate of that purchaser. Click on the "Dumont Telecruiser" Link to learn more.

We're always looking for additions to the collection.  While we have a limited budget, we are a "not for profit" 501 (c) (3) corporation.  Any equipment donation (or partial donation) would be tax deductible.  
We really need camera tripods, pedestals, pan heads, or anything to help us display more cameras.  Any leads would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks For Visiting.
