Title: Used Gear I saw in Kentucky Post by: tnlance on October 30, 2010, 02:15:45 AM About a year ago or so, I visited a radio station, WTKY-AM & FM in Tompkinsville, KY. The owners had passed away and the Brother in Law of one of the owners (a husband & wife) had taken over the stations. The station had a room full of old Gates equipment. I saw a nice big Gates Console back there. There is a 2500 watt, McMartin AM Transmitter too! Gee, there was no telling how much good stuff to you guys they had in that big room!

I have RSD and I have no use for big stuff, just the new gear on the market. I don't know if the old gear is still there or not. Their phone number is (270) 487-6119. At the time I talked to the Brother in Law, he wasn't ready to sell or give away anything, but things could have changed now. This is just a lead to some vintage gear. I don't know if the stuff is still there anymore, but it would not hurt to call and ask. TnLance |
