I think some of these cameras and ped's ended up in the media department of Portsmouth University.

@digitalbroadcaster

They did, I used them. I've got some pics somewhere. They also had the old BBC South Today set from the late 80's.

@jamestheposh Haha. Small world huh? I spent a little while in that Rotunda building, copying things as I used to build camera cranes etc. Now I use Super 35mm and work with camera helicopters. `Ground to air' as they say.

I also have some pictures of those camera's from that building. On Polaroid's though. haha...Polawhat?

I joined the BBC in 1977 and spent my first 10 of 33 years in the corporation using the EMI 2001. How lovely to see it once again and so well explained.
