Originally the transmitter was the main transmitter at a Breckenridge TX AM station.  After some years it was replaced with a solid state transmitter and it became the backup transmitter.  Later it was totally retired when a new transmitter was purchased and the older solid state transmitter took over as the backup transmitter.

For those of you that don't know, a BTA1R1 is a 1KW output AM transmitter with a pair of 4-400's modulated by another pair.  It has a low power position and its power output can be adjusted by a motor driven potentiometer that adjusts the screen voltage to the finals.  It comes with a manual although the manual is in Arkansas and the transmitter is in Texas.
