Objects in apt/Howard's room

Sheldon has a thing on the shelf near the door, under the boombox, that looks like a boombox but could also be a speaker. Know what it is? It's almost like a box painted to give the impression of a boombox.

Also, in Howard's room, he has a dome-shaped lamp - is it supposed to be a particular lamp or a model of something?

Don't they sometimes show posters etc. that are like a real comic book image but are not from a real comic book? This may be true of the stuff on Howard's walls.

Pretty much all of the set props used in the show are actual real world items.

There is a lot of product name change in the show. Most noticeably soft drinks.

The lamp next to Howard's bed is a UFO lamp. A vintage collectable.

here's a great shot of his room:

Unsure about your speaker question, however sry.

Wow, that's funny, first time I noticed he has a stack of free weights to right side of his bed.

Don't think he gets much use out of those!

Sheldon's boombox... do you mean the shelves near the front door of the boy's apartment? In the living room?

I believe there is a HAM radio stored in the shelves there, if that's what you're looking at?

Another object question: Sheldon has something next to the fridge. It looks like a big LED display or a picture frame, on top of a stack of books, like phone books. Sometimes it's not there. Any ideas what it is?
