[Mike Feher]

I believe that Brian is correct and it is a Hallicrafters VHF S-27 receiver.

I have an S-27. The panels do not match. The Hallicrafters on the top is an
SX-24. If you go to the video, expand it out to full screen and pause it
around the 1 minute, 5 second time frame, the nomenclature is visible.

Hope this helps,

73, Gordon KJ6IKT

All,

I think the top Hallicrafters is a RBK-1, Hallicrafters S-27 (VHF)
on board to listen for Japanese shipborne air defense radar in the 6M - 130
Mc range
The USS England used theirs to help locate and then sink six Japanese subs
over a 2-week period.

What's above the left-hand RBM ? 
What's to left of typewriter?
What model Hallicrafters and why was it there; is that realistic?
