Vintage GAME SHOW Promo "PDQ" NBC TV Advertisement "DENNIS JAMES" Free Shipping

Description

I'm selling 1- vintage glass slide promoting the early NBC television game show "PDQ".
PDQ
was syndicated by Four Star Television and
aired from September 6, 1965 to September 26, 1969, primarily on NBC
-owned stations but syndicated in markets where NBC didn't own a station.
PDQ
was named after its original sponsor, a flavored drink mix
. The show and product shared logos, although on the show the initials stood for "Please Draw Quickly". Dennis James
was the original host, with Monty Hall
filling in on at least one occasion in James' absence before Let's Make A Deal
moved to ABC. Kenny Williams
was the announcer, and Arlo Hults
provided the music
This slide was used in a Filmchain at the NBC studio in Washington. The Filmchain was a machine that would capture the image, turn it into an electronic signal, then converted back into a picture on your television set. This is a 35mm transparency (2" x 2" slide) encased between two pieces of glass and taped at the edges to hold it together. They were used to promote the day and time of an upcoming show. This is an original slide that was used on the air. It is not a reproduction.
These slides were brought home by my father as his personal souvenirs. If you notice a ring reflection on the above photos it was because I used the macro setting on my camera and I had to get so close that lens was reflected onto the slide.
I will combine shipping for more than one slide, just send me a request for a new invoice.
Good Luck
Be sure to check out my other original photo's and vintage television collectibles I'm currently selling as well. Thanks
My father worked at NBC (WRC in Washington, D.C.) from 1947-1978. He started out as a Cameraman and in a few short years was promoted to Technical Director. He was one of the true television pioneers of his time. He was in charge of assigning the entire engineering crew and then switching the show in the control room. He was also an excellent photographer and won many awards for his photographs at the Washington Camera Club. He would always bring his Nikon and Hasselblad camera's to work with him to take behind the scenes pictures of shows, interviews, and breaking news events. He passed away in 2004 and I have now decided to sell some of his collections. Keep watch for my future auctions where I have many rare photos that have never been seen by the public.
