Obscure CS:GO Model Origin - Boyobmas - 09-17-2017

The radios that can be found across several maps in Counter Strike: Global Offensive actually have an obscure origin.

What these models appear to based are the real-life "His Kids Radio", a radio distributed by the Chicago-based Christian organization known as the Moody Bible Institute.

These units allowed access to only two stations: The children's "His Kids Radio" that played mostly Christian pop songs and audio dramas and the regular WMBI station owned by Moody.

Can you provide footage of this radio in-game? If you have any other sources for this radio outside of wikipedia, they would be needed as well.
