That link came up 404. But, I do recall reading elsewhere that NBC did 
have to buy a set of PC-70's for its Chicago-based mobile unit. They 
needed to replace the old TK-41's before the 1968 Democratic convention 
in Chicago, but RCA wouldn't have the TK-44A's ready for prime-time 
until late 1968.
