[Hallicrafters] Re: MOVIE RECEIVER MYSTERY

[Roger Basford]

Hi Bill,

I've just seen "Letters From Iwo Jima" by the same director, very moving 
film. There is a considerable amount of  radio gear shown at the various 
Japanese HQs on the island.

Best source of info on Russian cold-war gear would be "Wireless For The 
Warrior" volume 4, but where you'd lay hands on that type of gear.....? 
Plenty of standard Russian comms gear around that would probably fill the 
job.

73,

Roger/G3VKM
