Can you ID the radio in this Andy Griffith Show episode?


Many thanks to SWLing Post contributor, Andrew Webber, who writes:

Does anyone know what kind of shortwave this is that appears in this episode of The Andy Griffith Show from the Sixth Season entitled “The Gypsies’. The Gypsies put a curse on the town of Mayberry and use the radio to magically predict rain within 72 hours by listening to weather reports from Greenland. The final scene is hilarious when Andy and Goober are listening to the radio and Andy takes the back cover off of the radio, only to discover the radio is just an empty case.

Thanks for sharing, Andrew. Can anyone ID this radio? Please comment!
