Many thanks to SWLing Post contributor, Ben-Zion, who writes:
I love your website and wanted to contribute a radio in cinema sighting from the 1980 South African film The Gods Must Be Crazy.
I look forward to your readers feedback regarding this SONY unit.
Kind Regards.

Thanks for the tip! Oh I do love that particular Sony model! Can anyone ID it?
As an aside, there is one episode of The Munsters where Herman is a ham op and uses some Hollywood- concocted version of a ham radio. Hilarious!

I do have the same Sony!
