Radio Box????


Recommended Posts

I have heard 3 or 4,502 different things.. I heard that it was a WW2 German field radio...A WW@ Japanese "Betty" (aircraft) radio that was mounted on the side of the cockpit.... and that the costume peeps threw it together at the last second cause old father george told the, it looked bare...

Tell you what, I am going to be working on getting a contact who is constantly in and out of the Skywalker Ranch area.. Not sure it will work, but got a lead I am going to work on... Maybe we can get some verification one way or the other..

Some close call is this 20's style CL 4566 Field Radio- But unfourtunatly it is a modern "retro" radio that I cannot find the original of:
