S-120 with a meter

 I remember watching the show Mission Impossible on TV and seeing a radio that looked like my Hallicrafters S-120 with a meter:


Nowadays that red stripe would just be a blur to hide the name ?



From the Mission: Impossible 1969-70 season, episode 10: The Double Circle

There was a Japanese company that made all these radios for Hallicrafters, Monarch, Lafayette and I'm sure many others.


STAR Radio made these in Japan

BTW, watching the first episode of Mission Impossible I thought that this was interesting:

Mr. Briggs got his briefing on a self destruct record

Of course later they changed to the mini-tape recorder:


Also noticed this radio in the first episode:
Collins collectors were probably aghast

Mr. Briggs must have been willing to spend more on radio gear than Mr. Phelps :)
