Radio Transmissions
To receive radio transmissions, the cast of Gilligan’s Island used a Packard Bell AM radio. Of course, the original radio didn’t have a telescoping antenna. This detail had been added by the crew to help audience believe that long distance messages was really possible.
Inventive Prop Team
The prop team of Gilligan’s Island had undoubtedly faced a great challenge in creating outrageous technology from scraps they could find around the island. This creativeness and inventiveness had become one of the things people loved about the show.
