Thomas,
A tongue-in-cheek radio sighting this time.
I spotted this gun fire damaged ‘marine HF’ radio in an episode of ‘Inside Job’ on Netflix.

Great timing, Mark. I watched the first episode of Inside Job this morning. It was a good laugh–quirky show! I love how the animator actually spent a little time illustrating the front panel and even that massive wound coil inside the set! I wonder if he/she is a radio enthusiast…?
Looks sorta’ like my Wavetek 2001 sweep generator hihi.
Speaking of movies:
I just saw this cult movie The Crawling Hand on Youtube: watch?v=1jRtlGQJJxs This movie prominently features this very VOM! It is a prop for a device that detects ‘alien energy’. It is held next to a rat, person, even a shelf to detect alien presence. Without meter probes. You never see which function the dial is set to, just the meter reading. Fun.
Oh, and there is a Hallicrafters receiver on the desk at the Space Agency.
