Yeah George there was much more.  I avoided overload on 1st pass

And to address another thing, AMC said it was first showing of the
film restoration

The 'Canal Trader(?).'  Two S38s OK, a civvy BC-669, & a smaller 'Trawler
wall-mount Halli.,' the HT9 & Halli spkr, etc.  YES!

As to stuff in corner.  Left corner.  It was a TDE tx plus a RAK/L & p-s.

SCR-269 was shown in action - the 'tune for Max meter' (who's Max?),
etc.  And the 'electric altimeter (Stack's words),' the RUNNING APN-1 
with the blipped circular display.

An I-101 cross-pointer displaying BC-733 & ARN-5 ILS landing info.

Footage of a Coast Guard Martin Mariner taxiing for take-off & then 
there was the chase plane - a Lockheed P2V Neptune

Couldn't recognize anything @ SFO radio tho at 1st thot HROs.  

TIVO lets you return & comb thru everything, god bless Tivo.

What with Mikes words on radio realism in the prior movie & what
appeared here is a case of times and customs (tempora et mores)
US was lopsidedly overboard on techo stuff in '54.  Woe and pathos,
tho the majority of the movie, still were king.  But the the gizmos
were there & pictured.  Not just the allusions in later production.

I just thot it was FINE
