Well OK an LX box,but still surprising.My wife records a bunch of network TV shows.This was an NCIS episode,the one with LL Cool J.The guys
were at the pawn shop questioning the guy behind the counter,and low and behold the LX box.Probably in perfect working condition.

Nice catch!

Actually I think it is a Pentax LX promotional sticker on the sliding glass door. Still cool though.

The clerk appears to be upset. Perhaps he's tired of explaining there's no such thing as a Pentax "ILX"...

Excellent! There was someone using what looked like a silver K10D in the Doctor Who episode 'the pyramid at the end of the world' last Saturday.

I vaguely remember either Richard Dreyfuss or Emilio Estevez handling a Pentax LX with a SB1 System Viewfinder and an attached FC-1 Action eyepiece ("Uhhhhhh..!") in a trailer of a movie called Stakeout.

I thought It was a Pentax but I wasn't sure

since it was in our future (the Doctor is a time traveler after all) Pentax will continue to survive

I'm old enough to remember when that was common-place.

I remember that too. That's also the movie where Rosie O'Donnell was half-naked.
