Old tube radio in Star Trek
#1

From the episode "A Piece of the Action", about a planet with a gangster culture like Chicago's 1920s.  Can't see much of the radio's front, but there's a better view of the back.  Cap't Kirk then tears off what I think is the antenna coil  Icon_eek , to set a trap, ...

Wondering what radio this is.   Icon_angel

I have this watched

People who do not drink, do not smoke, do not eat red meat will one day feel really stupid lying there and dying from nothing.

Looks like the same chassis as my R7A.

No matter where you go, there you are.

 It's similar, in fact the Star Trek set probably used the same circuit as my CGE J82. That same basic chassis design was used in G.E, RCA, and Westinghouse sets, both in the U.S and Canada from 1931 till the 1933 model year, the main differences being in tube lineup and band coverage. Some have push pull #45s, others have single ended #47s, others have push pull #47s.
