Old Comrex product makes cameo in bad sci-fi tv show

I will sheepishly admit I've been binge-watching Under the Dome this summer. Sheepishly because despite the intriguing premise, and the attachment of Stephen Spielberg and Stephen King, the writing is truly awful.

But it was a pleasant surprise to see an old friend make an appearance in the premiere. The plot involves a small-town radio station, with racks of vintage radio gear (obviously someone had an Ebay party) and there on the bottom is a 1980's vintage RTLX 2-line frequency extender decoder.

Spoiler Alert- The station (and I assume the stalwart RTLX) gets burned to the ground later in the series.
