Like I said, set decorators are not electronic geniuses. They may have been wandering through an enormous props warehouse with a shopping list, and said "Take that cool-looking old TV," having no idea (and probably not caring) where it came from.
Films are full of boo-boos like this. My favorite is "Some Like It Hot," which shows Joe E. Brown's character using a Hallicrafters S-20R as a ship-to-shore telephone.
The S-20R is a receiver; it can't transmit anything. His handset is plugged into the radio's headphone jack.
