This is an interesting looking radio - the front panel control markings are all quite reasonable for a communications receiver - xtal filter, phasing, BFO, selectivity, etc.
I grabbed some closeup shots and posted them at
http://www.virhistory.com/ham/freq/Just a Hollywood prop I suppose but someone obviously looked at a Real Receiver when building it.
Part of the dial looks like an RLC bridge with the 0.0005, 0.05, 5.0 marking and another part looks like HF broadcast band markings with Exotic Foreign Cities listed. Whatever - someone had fun and it is a long ways from the worst of Hollywood technology.....
