I just downloaded and attempted to blow up the photo. The resolution isn't good enough to do 
much with.

However, I did see that what I thought was a loop antenna is actually the top and hose from a 
fire extinguisher.

Looking more closely at the two rigs in the right rack, the top unit looked familiar. It has an 
HRO dial on it. I vaguely remember seeing an instrument that looked like that a number of 
years ago, and I now think, with Walter (?) that it is a crystal test unit.

He is also right that there is a big oven behind the man. I have seen and worked on those at 
work.

I still can't figure out the center instrument though. It sure looks like a piece of Stoddart gear 
to me.
