General Precision Laboratories PA-303 Video Recording Monitor

This unit contains a high resolution flying spot scanner and was used with a 16mm film camera to record television programs in the early 50s. The CRT operates with 25 kv on the anode and has a P11 phosphor. The PA-303 was used with a PA-302 film camera (shown below).

The PA-303 was donated to museum by the Museum of Science and Industry in Tampa, Florida.

Here is a video of a PA-303 in use at WTVJ in Miami. Could this be the unit in our collection?
