I agree with Ken and Bill, grab it. Better to have and not need than to
need and not have, or something like that. 'Need' is a very subjective
term when applied to old radio gear. (-:

Which set up is the 96-C? I have a massive Wilcox transmitter with 4
pull-out drawers, each containing a 250TL driven by an 813. Also has
seperate chassis for PS and modultor? Thing is the size of a
refrigerator (actually taller/wider) and the door handle bears a
striking resemblance to same. Has a telephone dial in it for
(speculation) selecting frequencies or channels? Picked it up years ago
as a restoration project, then ended up finding a million other things
to do. Need to find it a new home someday, but it would be nice to know
what it was/is, and what it was used for. It came from MARS back in the
60s IIRC. With the associate sub chassis and iron, it has to weigh in
around 1000 lbs or better. When we moved the thing years back, it took
7-8 people even with the iron and chassis removed. Sure did bend the
tailgate when we set it down to slide it in. Oooops? Knew there was
something I was forgetting!
