Looks like a Gonset Communicator and companion
amplifier. The amplifier ran a pair of 826s and put out about 50
watts.
They're at least 50 years old -- the producer must
have raided somebody's classic radio collection. The amplifier is probably
rather rare.
The ad shows that despite the occasional comments you
hear that "nobody's heard of ham radio," it's part of popular
culture.

For those of you who have not seen the new commercial that has a
woman "playing with her ham radio" in the rain, here it is:
