Before Restoration
This monitor was made in 1954 for use in a television
studio with a Dage color camera. It has been sitting in the basement
of a television station since 1960, and is in very poor condition. We
have two of these, and hope to restore one of them. It uses the
15GP22 picture tube, the same as was in the early home color sets.
We have finished restoring this monitor. The cabinet
has been repainted, but is missing the side panels, which we will make.
Recently we were contacted by George Fathauer, the
founder of Dage. Click here for
more information.
We believe that this monitor was used with a vidicon
studio or remote camera, since it has a camera control unit built in
to the top. The cabinet has handles on the side, indicating that it
was for field use. Dage also sold this monitor as part of a film
and slide chain.
