Tom – next week Disney Plus is premiering a new documentary from Martin Scorsese focusing on the Beatles arrival in New York in 1964. This film has footage from the famous Maysles brothers who produced several documentaries in the 1960’s. For most of the scenes of the Beatles in limousines or in their hotel room in Manhattan you see them listening to a Pepsi vending machine radio – presumably given to them upon their arrival. They are listening primarily to WINS 1010 and the famous disc jockey Murray the K.
Then later in 1964 their film A Hard Day’s Night premiered . In the opening scene the Beatles are traveling on a train in First Class when a businessman gets annoyed when Ringo turns on a radio to hear music. You can clearly see in these screen shots it says “All Transistor” and Philips. Perhaps one of your readers can identify the exact model?
All the best,
Robert Yowell
Thank you for sharing this, Robert.

I have attached a new “at-a-glance” programme grid of all Radio Romania International English programmes on shortwave along with an updated BBC WS in English programme grid.
Alan, thank you so much for sharing these. Your guides are a wonderful resource to the radio enthusiast community.

Here is some radio equipment from the 1954 movie “Secret of the Incas”, with Charlton Heston.
This was the best shot I could get so far, not having watched the entire film yet. So not very clear, but perhaps this makes it more challenging to identify (and more fun?).
Not the clearest image, but I’m betting some savvy readers can ID this gear in short order, Bruce! Feel free to comment with details.
