Thanks for posting additional info, guys. Should've known Skip had one at some point.
I know virtually nothing about this transmitter from a technical standpoint, but was aware of some ability to 'simulcast'. Don't recall seeing anything with it that looked like it was made for 4-250s, but it's been a while since I looked it over. The drawers are in the unit stored elsewhere, the decks are upstairs over the garage at home.
It's awfully tempting to just strip it for parts as it would supply the AM community with a lot of goodies for years to come. It's very well made, no corners cut here. But as an interesting and fairly scarce piece of history, it would be great to have someone grab it who would restore it. One fellow is very interested in it for this reason, along with a few tire kickers who maybe like the thought of it pretty well. This ain't no Dixie 100.
And Skip is right: this thing is a heavyweight. With iron and decks removed, it took several of us to lay it down and heft it into the back of my dad's Ranger, after laying it on the tailgate and bending it into a big 'U'. Dad was not pleased!
Thanks for the offer Johnny. I'll check the deck this weekend, but pretty sure all the 'stuff' is there aside from a few tubes. Maybe the next owner would like some spares, I'll pass the info on.
