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 :)
