You mean, where can you find old Broadcast Transmitters that can be 
converted to the ham bands?

Someone recommended the mailing list at broadcast.net.  Barry Mishkind 
(in Houston) is a great guy and his site is a good resource.

*Some* professional engineers might raise an eyebrow to a request of 
"does anyone have an old tube-burning, 1kW AM back-up transmitter they 
wanna get rid of?"  then again, if the station had sense, it would have 
already been sold for commercial dollars to some other-country station 
for broadcast, legal or not.

I had my chance at the old KONO RCA BTA1R but life got busy, I had no 
place to put it, and when I called on it, it was (of course) already 
gone.  If you -do- find one, act FAST on it!
