[AMRadio] Ham Radio in a Boatanchor Movie - "Grand Jury Secrets."

[w9gt at comcast.net]

I don't know the name of it, but one of the old Mickey Rooney movies from 
the 40's had a very prominent display of ham radio with a big rack and panel 
transmitter, etc.  Was it Boy's Town?  Anyway, those were the days!!
