[TMC] Ghostbusters II - DDR-5

[Nick England]

I watched that "Made for TV" movie about the John Walker spy case hoping to
see some interesting equipment. Instead they showed a bunch of Navy
Radiomen using HP 608 signal generators as receivers - Barf!

But sometimes Hollywood does OK. Some years ago my little company had our
3D laser scanner in a CSI TV episode - they pretty much showed everything
correctly except for turning our infrared beam into a visible red one to
show up. And the CSI set had about the best lab equipment I have seen.
Cheers,

The synthesizer is not lit....there is an unidentified, unauthorized component with too many lights and somehow, the other drawers have lights that the originals did not. Who would notice this but seven of us so, as with most other things, it doesn't matter and "who cares?"
