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.
