Just saw the trailer for Godzilla 2. It starts with our heroine flipping an on switch, glancing at some meters then pressing push to talk on a Turner 253 (?) and speaking into the mic. The one meter says kilovolts. The other two I think are an SP-600 pretending to be a transmitter. Later in the trailer at about :30 there are some more quick flashes which show a Collins linear in the background, a D-104, and some other equipment,

Anyone with quicker eyes care to take a shot at recognizing the gear?

First clip - SP-600, 30L-1 amp, Turner +2 amplified mic.

If you pause the video, you can read the meter for the 30L-1 which doesn't zero at the far left.

Weird how they 'Hollywooded' up the SP-600 to make the band spread dial appear to be a meter by adding a big ol' needle.

Then again, why have 50s-60s equipment in a setting with space age aircraft and weapons? Because it gives a better representation of Radio for the viewing public at large.

At 25 seconds I'm pretty sure that's an R-390 to the right of the SP-600.
