Radio in Payback 1999 movie


A little photo enhancement brings the bottom radio the revealing clue. It's a Globe Cheif CW ham transmitter. As I remember, they were notorious for producing second harmonics, giving many new novice hams headaches with TVI and OO warnings.

Yes, yellow Robyn T-240D Executive. It is an AM base or mobile tube radio made by Sanyo I believe. Could you imagine it in a mobile? I have one, I should get it off the shelf and plug it in. The unit on the bottom looks like an amplifier.
shadetree back in the early 80s i had a robyn t240d and a colt midnight special, basically the same radio,, swapped put back and forth from mobile to base,, they fit perfect under the dash of my 1970 monte carlo.. ran a 102 bumper mounted whip,, loved the car loved the radios,,, colt got stolen from my dads shop,, sold robyn in florida 1992,, sad,,,,

    Hello gentlemen and Ladies. I have the dreaded RCI-2990 receive issue where my radio gets distorted when people get close to my location. I found the C90 Capacitor, but I can not for the life of me find the C89 capacitor. Can or does anyone have a picture of the exact location of C89 ? Thank you in advance, Wes
