I remember Lafayette Electronics very well. We used to have a division in Peoria, Illinois. A few years ago at a "Old Settlers Days" type of thing I acquired a Lafayette Dyna-Com 23. It is a full power hand held that weighs a TON. It puts about 3.8 watts on transmit and was fully functional when I got it. It even has the leather belt carrying case. The built in telescopic antenna has to be about 5' long. I tested this unit a few years ago and was able to talk to my wife about 3 miles away with good copy on a homemade ground-plane about 15' in the air. Excellent units! As a side note, I don't play around with the 11 meter band these days. I prefer 10-160 Meters, which I can legally operate as a Ham radio operator.
I use to go to that Lafayette all the time, I lives in Woodbury, about 6 miles away and I went to Syosset Senior School. That store was HUGE! I would have to say that the electrolytic are shot.
As kids we had the Realistic walkie talkies the almost the size of WW2 ones. They took 10 AA batteries. It took a week's worth of allowance to replace them.
LOL, it was supposed to be a puff of smoke, but when it went off too fast I instinctively threw it. The scene was supposed to be longer but I had to cut it.
There were 21 seconds of music playing from an instrumental named "Powerhouse" while the box was being scanned. TH-cam said it was copyrighted "in another country" and would not let the video be seen there. (No idea what country.) So I just found someone doing a cover of the music and used that instead. It was by Raymond Scott. th-cam.com/video/m4SBWP28EjE/w-d-xo.html

First! I sure remember this!
Epson Perfection V33 1998 and it's the same scanner software I have, on W7 Pro (32 bit)
"Luminiferous aether". now we've opened up that can of worms.
Hahaha, now they call it "Space-Time" but the original name sounds better.
I visited Lafayette Radio Headquarters on Long Island NY back in the 80s. Not very impressed, but I bought a few things I needed.
