In searching for radio gear, I ran across this URL

recognize it, but it looks like it might be some older
computer stuff.
Looking at the picture on the website, it looks as though this guy has a
Bendix G-15. Wow.
Compare it to the following picture:

Same thing. (Same picture, too? Hmmm...)

It looks like Hefty Harry has cut'n'pasted the G15 pic onto a background
shot of old radios, he's even not matched the size of the chop against the
new background and cropped the image!

On the off chance that this isn't (duh) an April Fools joke, I just emailed
the web site owner...
My hunch however is that someone on this list is getting a good laugh!!
(Wish I'd thought of it first.)

It's not as though there's a shortage of g-15
pictures on the 'net:
http://images.google.com/images?q=bendix+g15
but they're all by and large from the same place or 404'd. Pity about that
colour pic of the (I assume) console, a fuller picture of the whole kit
would've been nice!
