Title: This 1960's MW TX is still on sale at ebid.net!
Post by: ThaDood on November 01, 2017, 1355 UTC

 Two years ago, when I was looking at a beefier TX for MW Carrier-Current operation, I'd seen this at ebid.net,   https://www.ebid.net/us/for-sale/am-radio-station-broadcast-transmitter-71172504.htm

I can't believe that it's still for sale. Seems like a nice deal for someone whom can truck something that heavy.

Anything using triodes is pretty hard to convert to higher frequencies without a lot of work.  The tetrode boxes were easier to convert, but tubes are a lot more expensive.
