That was very interesting! Thanks for digging it up and posting it.

What a blast from the past for me with an electronics background. Wire-wrapped breadboards and a dozen manual potentiometers. I can only imagine the amount of pot-twiddling that had to go on to get things right.

Imagine where Kodak would be had they taken the digital ball and run with it at that time?

Imagine Paul Simon redoing "Kodachrome" and singing, "I got a KODAK camera instead of a Nikon." Heads would turn, mouths would drop, shorts would fill! lol!

i don't think kodak could handle it. after the war, selling "the brick" they right to Germany for a good camera with faster speeds. AND, tried to compete with Japan for good color film.

Maybe Kodak recalled how they got burned traveling the nstant film route and didn’t want to gamble on it.
