WNAC-TV

1st Slate (1960s-1971)
Slate: We see a silver case with a yellow plate and the tag "WNAC-TV Boston, Mass." printed in red; its labels read "AIR DATE", "TAPE NO.", "TITLE", "REC. DATE", "AGENCY" and "MISC." in green. Also in green are the letters HK in an oval on the lower right corner. Both "AIR DATE" and "TAPE NO." are aligned apart to either edge by a peephole in the center. A handle on top allows it to be carried.

Countdown/ESG: A condensed saw & pulse buzzer combination with a wet reverb set and filtered at around 210 Hz. The display is an analog projector with numerals 10 to 2.

Availability: Rare. Seen on Major Mudd*.
