Hallicrafters in an old ABC News clip


 
Edited

I noticed a Hallicrafters rig in an old ABC News clip that appeared in a recent Last Week Tonight episode covering the history of UFOs, back to the WW2 era. I am curious if anyone has a guess on the model in this very low resolution snapshot..

That¡¯ll most likely be an S-27 (or maybe an S-36, later version of the 27).? Would be interested if you have a link to where you saw this, or what season/episode numbers was it?

Looking for the FCC S-27 ...there's a data tag on the front panel that states that.
Working on the WW2 RID FCC set up. Have the FCC SX-28 and loop antenna set up.
Any leads on one would be?greatly appreciated.?
Thanks
