I recall stopping by the transmitter site of our local channel 7 outlet. At the time, they were running 2 very ancient RCA rigs...big black boxes labeled "Abel" & "Baker". "Baker" was semi-defunct & the engineer was deep inside it trying to get it running so they could take "Abel" off the air for work. He was carrying a bushel basket full of tubes around while he worked....IIRC LOTS of 6146s in the basket. I should've asked what the final was...probably a couple of 4CX10000s or something.
