[Premium-Rx] As seen on TV

It does have a  manufacturers logo, it does have a computer type fan  on the back of the case
If you look at the trailer there is a trace on the crt you need to look closely, and you need to look
at the trailer more than once.

Subject: [Premium-Rx] As seen on TV

Has anyone seen the TV trailers for an upcoming SF/supernatural series called “Frequency”? A woman communicates with her long-dead Ham father across time using his old transceiver after lightning strikes the antenna (of course! Who hasn’t had THAT happen?) and will apparently try to warn him of his impending murder.

The closeup of the rig doesn’t look like any that I’ve seen. Looks Hallicrafters-oid, but too narrow, too few controls, a panadaptor screen lit by an incandescent source (!) but no trace, no nomenclature. Front panel, no cabinet. It looks like something cobbled together for the show. If so, I have no idea why they didn’t just use an actual period rig. It’s not like they’d be doing product placement for a company that refused to pay for same! (Which I think is the explanation for the supremely irritating habit of “reality” shows where every incidental corporate logo on vehicles, T-shirts, buildings, etc., is blurred out – no payola, no publicity!)

Anyone seen it? Thoughts?
