- This is a Steelman Transitape tape recorderI bought off Ebay and it came with this tape of the assassination of R.F.K.. The first side of the tape was recorded at 3 3/4 IPS while the second side was recorded at 1 7/8 IPS The quality of the recording is`nt too bad, and I hope you`ll excuse the fact that the taqpe goes on for over 1 hour.
Cool! I've never heard this one before. And speaking of the RFK assassination coverage, I've got all 39 reel-to-reel tapes off of eBay, and they are all of the tapes that it was recorded off of TV back in 1968 and 1970. It had "Twilight Zone", "Branded", "Addams Family", "Bat Masterson", "Flash Gordon" (the 1936 serial), "Outer Limits", and more along with movies and some old vintage commercials heard during one of the recordings. In addition, they had mixed bag of Mexican music which I'm not much of a Mexican music fan, and a few are Old Time Radio. I've transferred a bunch of these and separate them to MP3. It might take a long time to complete them. Depending on the audio quality of these quality, the rest of these are not quite as good, but many of them are decent and not too bad for historical purpose. This was before VCR's came along, but there was no video back them.
Wanna sell them?
This is an NBC-TV summary from a special report the evening after the shooting. The reporter on the scene was Charles Quinn, The anchor is Frank McGee. Eli Able is with Sen. McCarthy. David Brinkley then comments, followed by Chet Huntley. There is other coverage on RUclips, but I have not heard this particular segment before. Thank you!
That's a very precious tape. Living history from a "layman's" perspective. The kinds of tape recorders were the cell phone camera of their day. This is a excellent display of technological history and I hope you are going to keep that lovely Steelman tape recorder, it sounds great! Please don't sacrifice it! Ending your video with that wonderful speech by Edward Kennedy was a stroke of genius! Nothing more was needed to be said.
I agree... As close to the actual event as you can get, history captured as it happened, chilling in some ways but a reminder of our past so we never forget... a KEEP IT ALWAYS!
+clydesight Thank you Tim, I will keep the tape, always. It`s kind of neat that when you find these old tape recorders that you might find a piece of history like this. And actually the Edward Kennedy speech at the end was`nt just accidental that I ended the tape like that, it WAS the end of the recording concerning RFK. After that the guy that owned the tape recorder sang a short verse of happy birthday to someone, and then the rest of the tape was taken up with a partial episode of the Dean Martin Roast. That night they were roasting Telly Sevales. the stuff you find on thesexold tapes....
+clydesight you should see the film from the time with no sound
To clarify, the pandemonium at the beginning was not broadcast live by any of the 3 networks. The crowd reaction heard here was indeed broadcast on NBC, but a period of time after the shooting, once the film was ready. The same is true of the CBS coverage that is available elsewhere. Ironically, ABC, which never managed to get a film crew back to the pantry, broadcast a live audio report from the pantry while Kennedy still lay on the floor, and switched to a live video feed in the pantry just a minute or so after Kennedy was removed. BTW, the NBC reporter who did such a remarkable job of calmly describing the scene in the pantry as it unfolded before him was Piers Anderton.
I was watching NBC that night. As you indicate, they were not broadcasting live from the Ambassador Hotel at the moment of the shooting. They ended their live picture of the ballroom right after Senator Kennedy's speech and switched back to the studio. It appeared they were about ready to sign off altogether when the first reports came in of the attack. I still remember Frank McGee on the telephone with a stunned look on his face. He just said "Okay," hung up the phone and started filling time. It was obvious something wrong but they weren't ready to report anything. Shortly thereafter, they showed a tape of the ballroom commotion and reveled what had happened. This was followed by live reports from the Ambassador Hotel and eventually the Good Samaritan Hospital. It was a shocking and tragic night that I will never forget. The first part of this tape appears to be of NBC's coverage several hours later while Senator Kennedy was still clinging to life. It begins by replaying recordings made right after the shooting.
I've heard a lot of the CBS coverage but not much NBC coverage. I was only 6 when this happened, but it always makes me sad.
i actually have 2 beta video recordings of 2 tv specials one being a cbs special on the jfk shooting and then i have an a & e special of jfk real time where they played the whole nbc coverage of the shooting as it happened and i am not going to be ridding any of this footage ever its a luck what u can find these days
Wow. Valuable tape.
5:56-6:10 is the sound of a crowd of enraged onlookers trying to attack Sirhan as he was being led from the hotel into a squad car.
The rendition at 17:46 of "Nobody Knows the Trouble I've Seen" is nothing short of chilling.
I don’t like this America bashing. SS shot RFK, not me, not you, not the country! Love it or leave it!🇺🇸
It takes a very evil man to stand there and say the things that LBJ is saying knowing what he knows!
TRUMP is the evil one, NOT LBJ
I was 17 and leaned Republican but supported Bobby Kennedy TO THE HILT. Hope died for a young man that day and it has never returned. It likely never will.....
It never will return if Trump wins, he fucked us all
