Wow.....Primarily Umatic and 4:3 equipment with a small amount of Betacam and Betacam SP gear for playback........its an old station and it probably just used as a translator service now
They obviously weren't traveling to well hence the lack of upgrades even though BetaCam SP was available.....Id say 80-90's was its prime
More likely,a "remote Transmission site".
Strictly speaking, a "translator" receives RF "off air" on one channel & retransmits it on another channel, without ever bringing the signal down to baseband video & audio.
This was never all that common in OZ, although the General Public loved to use the term---not sure about the USA.
There are a lot of TV Transmitter sites around Australia, which were "destaffed" in a big hurry, & for years, everything looked like the last shift had just disappeared like the crew of the"Marie Celeste"!
Equipment in the process of repair sitting on benches where they were left on the "last day".
Chairs in the office in front of paperwork, pens sitting where they were dropped.
Seriously eerie!
Studios---no!
When TVW7 in Perth moved out of the Tuart Hill studios, everything was razed to the ground, & the property sold to a Land Developer.
The development is called "Seven Acres".
I thought it would be a nice gesture if they kept the big sandstone gate, but apparently, they have the same idea as Billy Connolly."That's a nice gesture!"--------meaning something similar to, but not quite
To my mind, the most poignant thing was to walk into the unoccupied offices of the NASA Carnarvon tracking station, & see information on the last few shots tracked written upon the glass partitions with a Chinagraph pencil.
This was after it was taken over by Radio Australia, who only used part of the building.
When the RA station was closed,the building was torn down---after all,it's only history!
