So true the packing crate these behemoths came in would make a for a good 
bachelor pad in many third world countries. 8^)
If you want a true behemoth transmitter you might look around for an old 
commercial AM broadcast band transmitter.
A friend of mine is rebuilding a Collins 20V-2 commercial transmitter it is 
glorious to see the glow of two 4-400 driving two more 4-400's in this 
monster. From what I understand you should be able to come up with one of 
these for less money then any of the huge AM transmitters build for the 
military or the Amateur radio in the 50's.
