Classic Cable TV weather station instruments

I have a weather station that many cable stations used in the 60's and 70. It was made up of round dials (guages) that showed time, temperature, wind speed, etc. The camera panned each guage. I was wondering if any cable systems out there still might be using them. I once saw a story on a LPTV that was using a set. Any idea what station that might be. The company that manufactured the instruments was texas Electronics. They no longer make them. as a last resort, I figures someone might have some experience with them, or someone who might know where a set exists still, or might have parts to them, or if there is a website with info on them. Any insight would be appreciated. Thanks<P ID="signature">______________

Seems like a setup that a bank I used to go by had at one time.

Methinks I recall they had it in a window so that you could see the camera
panning back and forth.<P ID="signature">______________
