Transmitter used in Episode #4 (Good Night, Sweet Skipper) Found!
The transmitter is a "Hallicrafters S-40A". The "transmitter" is actually a short-wave
receiver and not a transmitter as depicted on the show. The first picture is from
the episode and the picture below is the real deal. The prop department painted it gray.

The radio is a Magnavox Celestial model FM-97, and is a four band, battery operated transistor radio with dual telescoping
antennas. In my opinion, it would have made a better radio that the Packard Bell as it has AM, FM and two bands of Short wave.
There is another version of the Magnavox similar to the FM-97 and is called the Magnavox Constellation model FM-95/FM-96
and is a three band radio that looks exactly like the FM-97 except the grill work is silver rather than black and has only three bands
rather than four.
So if you re ever asked what the FIRST radio used by the cast was, you can now tell them! (Michael Sohnly)
