[Hallicrafters] SX-17 on Battle Star Galactica!!!!

[Bill Gerhold]

Battle Star Gallactica, a fictitious series about the last remaining 
human escaping the Cylon machines which have exterminated all the 
human inhabitants of earth.  The series is about these remaining 
humans in very large spaceships trying to outwit the Cylon's in an 
attempt to find a new world to rebuild the human race.  It is a 
series on the SciFi Channel.  I am referring to the current episode which
started this Friday the 5th, that I believe will run all this week until a
new episode next Friday.   

Last night, watching the series mentioned above, a scene in which the ships
doctor is in his laboratory, I momentarily spotted what I thought was an
SX-17 sitting on the shelf behind the good doctor.  No way.  Couldn't have
been an SX-17.  Anyway, now aware of what I thought I saw, I watched more
closely and in the very next frame or scene, there it was clearly, a very
good view of an SX-17 or 16 sitting on a shelf behind and above the right
shoulder of the doctor looking like a piece of lab equipment.

The round silver dial, the "S" meter and bandspread were all there.  
Later in the show, another view of the radio confirming what I was 
seeing an actual SX-17 or 16 on the shelf.

Bottom line, its good to see a Hallicrafters rig is still in 
existence many centuries into the future and being used as something even as
a prop in a series.  If there are any other SciFi fans, and fans of Battle
Star Galactica, I would like someone else to confirm what I saw.  I feel
certain it is an actual SX-17.
