Former KOMA program director Deane Johnson has shared some great pics of
the studio and transmitter equipment here:

KOMA had the biggest coverage area of all the Storz stations but
listners wouldn't have guessed that the newest music on the planet came
from a transmitter made in the 30s. We kept also kept pushbuttons
set for The Big 89 and KAAY in Little Rock, but when you'd pull up to a
stop light on a summer's night, it would be the KOMA Good Guys you'd
hear coming from the other car radios. I wouldn't trade those
memories for a stack of MP3 players, selective fading and all!
A great history of the Todd Storz, the father of Top 40 radio:
