Spanning years of time and lots of research, finally you have all in one place the real and the fake of NASA Squawk Boxes - from my painstakingly creating a faithful reproduction of the prop used in the film Apollo 13 back on New Years Day 2018, to my re-energizing a real Squawk Box and demonstrations of both using real mission audio.

    I like both the Squawk Box and the Darth Box. Two moments in history.

    LOL, I instantly recognized that loudspeaker from the DX-160 general coverage receiver. I hated the audio from my '160 back in the 1970s and swapped it out for a hi fi speaker. It was tinny sounding!

    Iโ€™m confused I could swear I watched this video already.

    Love this.

    The one in the move was a Radio Shack speaker. Bugged me as one of the only thing that looked out of place.

    Shockingly the Apollo 13 film is more than half way back in time to the real Apollo 13 events. So "period" features are another "period" away ๐Ÿ˜
