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.
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.
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.
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. UA-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. ua-cam.com/video/m4SBWP28EjE/v-deo.html

Hahaha, now they call it "Space-Time" but the original name sounds better.
