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!

I was motivated by one of Tom Styles videos (hamrad88) about Sync detection to make one of my own.

Here are a few radios that caught my attention:
I actually purchased the Hallicrafters SX-24 in this photo (above) for $60. I would have purchased the speaker as well but he wanted $200 (!!!) for it.
By the time I made it back to this Hammarlund HQ 145 A, someone else had already snagged it. It was a beauty!
I probably saw eight of these RA6790/GM’s scattered throughout the flea market.
