From time to time there is one on ebay. It's cool to have one that looks like it, but I wonder what happened to the real one.

Pretty cool, but I can't see myself spending $300+ dollars for this? I remember there was a Gilligan's Island episode where they recharged the batteries but what kind were they? They might be D size I suppose? I took some screen shots from some of the episodes and it appears this radio is the same make and model but on the show you can't read the manufacturer? I imagine they didn't want to violate any copyright laws by showing the brand name or perhaps advertise the vendor without their consent?
