[Milsurplus] RCA "Radio At War" video 1942 - 1943

[Nick England]

I think that is an RAB-4, not RAS, at 15:20 and 20:50 in the film.
See https://www.navy-radio.com/rcvr-ww2.htm for some photos.
Definitely shipboard, given the bulkhead riveting. Carrier? I dunno....

And it looks like a laptop computer screen to the right of the RAB-4 ??!!??
