Dear Thomas,
Recently I watched the film “Golda” (https://www.imdb.com/title/tt14454876/)
There are quite a few RACAl receivers in the film and I will send you a few screen snapshots!
Best regards,
Frans
Thank you for sharing these screen shots, Frans! What a gorgeous radio!
Accurate and very good choice for government/military monitoring scenario for the period!
Indeed, I did my initial military intelligence training on that receiver.
I once owned this Racal model. The tuning wheel was as smooth silk compared to the clunkiness of the R390A which I owned at the same time. A beautiful receiver and equal performer to the Collins.
RA-17 I noticed these as well
There is an ITT Tiny 30 MW/SW/FM rx in the first minutes of the movie “infinite storm”
