I'm betting there may well be a built-in dummy load...lots of 1kW AM rigs had them...usually a bunch of big resistors mounted up near the top of the cabinet & possibly some sort of switch/jumper arrangement to switch from antenna output to the dummy. Can't recall if the McMartin I worked on 30-odd years ago was so equipped.
