Many thanks to SWLing Post<\/em> contributor, Ray Robinson, who writes:<\/p>\n

Hi, Thomas. In the 2019 movie Ford v. Ferrari<\/a>, a battered old shortwave radio is used in California to listen to commentary on the 1966 Le Mans race from France.<\/p>\n

I’ve attached a few stills from the movie (which I highly recommend, by the way). Might any of your subscribers know the model of the radio?<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\"\"<\/a> \"\"<\/a> \"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Post Readers:<\/strong> Please comment with links<\/a> if you can ID the make and model of this radio. It looks very familiar, but then again the design is similar to so many other models of the era. Ray, I look forward to checking out the film, too!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
