Without a time machine, the next-best thing to remember a game show classic. As it MIGHT have appeared from the back of the room in 1972

Background information would be nice. Is this a Photoshop?
-
The pic looks real to me, though I always thought the "NBC Color" cameras included the NBC "snake" logo.
-
Definitely a Shop-job ... but very nicely done, VeeJay7! An imaginary scene from one of my favorite childhood shows.

Nice enough to fool me, so I admit not really picking up on the one indication ("MIGHT have appeared") VeeJay gave us that it was made up. There are plenty of actual photographs, and of course the occasional videotape, that I think would come a lot closer to being "the next-best thing to remember a game show classic" than a work of essentially historical fiction.
Still, yes, an impressive effort. I'd love to see more like that.

I wish I could find my larger image, but here's a color one (http://\"http://userdata.acd.net/ottinger/cullen/shows/youre.html\") and here's one in glorious monochrome (http://\"http://www.gameshowutopia.net/cullenshows/youreputtingmeon.jpg\") that are the real thing.

One more follow-up.

It's NOT photoshop. It's as acurate as all the existing photos will allow.
The secret is in the size. And yes, when NBC put the RCA TK-44A and TK-44B color cameras in service, it went with NBC COLOR on the panels, versus the snake. The NBC COLOR was covered with the red/blue "N" logo and the letters NBC in 1976

I'm not sure I understand you. It's either a real photo or else it's something you made up. Technically speaking, maybe you used some other software than Adobe's licensed product, but it's either real or it isn't, and the smart money appears to be on "isn't".
We're all saying that we're impressed with your efforts. If you have an aversion to us calling it 'photoshopped', then by all means tell us more about how you made it.
-
Glancing over it quickly I can tell you that the studio lights represented in these photos appear to just be the starburst glare you can add from PhotoShop (or similar program). Other than that the pic looks real so this person knows their PhotoShop!
EDIT: They also say "the secret is in the size", could this be some kind of small model they made and photographed then edited in PS?
-
In my opinion, it had to be Photoshopped (or CGI'd), because of the studio lights and, as mentioned before, the lack of an NBC snake logo on the cameras.
What's your secret (other than "Top" or "Ancient Chinese")?

That's my guess. Again, VeeJay, nice work!
Check out all four shots:

Now, it's looking to me like an actual physical model, maybe with some photoshopped light effects.
It makes great iPod wallpaper, however. I love it.

Yeah that's gotta be a model like I thought, I never saw shots 2 and 3 until now. They kinda "give it away". The mics look fake. Those two pics actually kinda look like its sort of a claymation like model. The other two wide shots, however, look pretty darned awesome and so realistic.
If it IS a model, all things aside, it had to take a lot of time to do and it's pretty good!
-
My god, I think he's right.
Suddenly this little project became a LOT more impressive. And honestly it was reasonably impressive when we all thought it was a Photoshop composite job.

I gotta agree. There's so much detail in this the more I look at it, the more I'm like "wow", and it's the good "wow".

Okay, VeeJay7 ... Another project for ya (whenever, if ever you're ready, of course ...)
The '60s Match Game set. Always did love that one!
-
Bonus points if the >>MATCH<< flippies work. :)
-
I was going to suggest "Treasure Isle" or "Ultra Quiz", but "Match Game" is good, too. :)
-
Let's see you make the current Jeopardy set with teeny tiny working monitors!
-
Diminishing this achievement not one bit, here's a question: In the "real" set, were the contestants desks *really* as nearly perpendicular to the gameboard as veejay's shot #3 indicates?
(And I vote for the "Three on a Match" set if there's gonna be another model made. Ridiculous numbers of bonus points if the bid indicators work.)
-
Don't ask me how I know, but I believe they were. As best I can figure, the board faced the audience, thus forcing the contestants to look away from the audience to see the board.
