[AMRadio] Western Electric 250 Watter

[John T. M. Lyles]

Yep, thats a WE 451-A. Cool looking rig, with the etched glass. Lots 
of tubes which are difficult to find. THere was one of them for sale 
near Greenville, SC, but the guy wanted over $2grand for it, and 
sounded like he was working at a filling station when I called. 
Nevertheless, it may still be available. It is quite a heavy beast 
for such a power level.

WE also made Doherty rigs which later were the foundation for 
Continental Electronics transmitters I think.
