Following up on the item about the Grundig SAT 700 in a scene of Last of Us<\/em><\/a>, the series “Hunters<\/a>“, with Al Pacino, about Nazi hunters, featured a beautifully restored Zenith wood cabinet radio in the second to last of 8 episodes.<\/p>\n

What a gorgeous Zenith, Dan. Thank you for sharing this and your notes about Hunters<\/em>.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
