Here is a screen shot I happened upon from the movie Jaws. In background is an vacuum tube Eico oscilloscope and on top is an Eico variable power supply. I never noticed it before. I happen to have both exact pieces. I don't recall them being used at all in the movie. Seems a bad spot tied on the edge of a boat in salt water. Both units having high voltages.
I suppose many have seen House MD and his Sota turntable. I forget the movie now, but one showed a billionaire from the mid 1980's with a pair of Acoustat 2+2 speakers. I doubt 1% of the people knew what they were. I once saw an episode of a TV show that had a Nakamichi Dragon on the shelf in a rich dudes house.
Anyone else have any sightings of such stuff in the background of TV shows or movies?
It has gone the other way too. A movie inspiring audio. Forbidden Planet from the 1950's had an advanced race of people with immense power known as the Krell. One and the same inspiration for Krell amplifiers.
