An observation on 21st century "period pieces":
Ever notice that if the movie is set in 1964, everybody is driving a
1964 model car?
Or if the movie is set in 1941, everybody, including the poor, is
driving a new 1941 car? Not a Model T in sight, although there must
have been millions of them still on the road in 1941.
And how does the woman being harrassed by a telephone pervert always
manage to get an immediate dial tone a split-second after the perv
finishes his final cackle?
Businesses in movies apparently all answer their phones by saying
"Hello!". With the caller , it's always "Hello - Murphy's Market?",
"Hello - Sears Roebuck?", "Hello - City Hall?", etc.

On a beer commercial beach scene with GE Super radio.
Dont remember brand, only do Pilsner Uquell now. Not priced for
maintenance but
tasty....
I usualy spot TV's & yell out the brand, after almost 40
yrs fixin
them I am quite good at it.
Many bloopers such as a movie set in the 50's with a 12" Panasonic
solid state
B&W !
Old sets best from front, the knobs give it away. Newer sets best from
rear.
Model tag style,
screw type & color and ears make for a good ID. Reading brand tags is
cheating !
Often removed anyhows........
73 es MERRY CHRISTMAS

As seen on a recent episode of "Fringe" -
A DX150B - being used as a low-frequency audio
generator!
