"The Andy Griffith Show" - in Sheriff Andy Taylor's office is an Eico
720, a CW-only, XTAL-controlled transmitter, with a mike plugged into
its key jack. Don't recall if it made it into "Return to Mayberry."

In the sherrif's office in Eureka (sci-fi channel), there is some sort
of old radio. I never see it well enough to even guess what it is,
but someone who knows what it is might recognize it.

Over the three seasons, the microphone changed, I think early in the
first season, it went from a hand mike to a desktop.

In "Some Like It Hot" with Tony Curtis, Jack Lemmon, and Marilyn Monroe, the
character Osgood is shown making a ship-to-shore call from his yacht to the
hotel using a Hallicrafters S-20R.

Ridiculous, of course, since the S-20R is a receiver, not a transceiver. His
telephone handset is plugged into the headphone jack.

I have also noticed the SX-42 in "Sabrina."

Ridiculous, of course

P.S. Also ridiculous because the S-20R wasn't introduced until 10 years
after 1929, when the movie is set.

Talk of ridiculous, there is an old movie that has a German WW2 U boat
with a British Admiralty B40 RX on board.

Apart from being British it was also a 1950s radio!

In "Father Goose", staring Cary Grant, there is what I think is a
Hallicrafters S-22 on the yacht in the beginning of the movie.

There is some more radio equipment later in the movie, in the island
hut, that I don't recognize.
